Abstract

Background: The study aims to examine what color representation means to artists by investigating various hypotheses about van Gogh's expression of yellow and verifying the reason of his preference of yellow. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether yellow expression of Vincent van Gogh is a result of physiological responses of alcoholism, expression feature of mental disorder, or a problem caused by psychological motivation. Methods: In order to verify the research question, we referred to research literatures that analyzed a characteristics of Gogh's works in a various area such as psychology and psychiatry, and Gogh's symptoms and his own skills. Results: The findings suggested that Gogh's yellow preference is related to the psychological factors such as inner motivation, not a xanthopsia which is brought about alcoholism and mental disorder. Conclusions: Gogh's Yellow expression is dominantly influenced by the psychological factors. Thus, it can say that the psychological factors has a great on characteristic of artist's color expression.

배경: 본 연구는 반 고흐의 특징적인 노란색 표현에 대한 다양한 가설을 살펴보고 그 원인을 검증함으로써 예술가에게 색채표현의 의미가 무엇인지 살펴보는 것이다. 목적: 본 연구는 노란색의 구도자로 대변되는 빈센트 반 고흐의 특징적인 노란색 표현이 알토올 중독에 의한 생리적 반응의 결과인지, 정신증적인 문제로 인해 나타난 표현특징인지, 아니면 심리적 동기에 기인한 문제인지를 밝히는데 연구의 목적이 있다. 방법: 연구문제를 검증하기 위해 고흐의 증상을 연구한 연구논문들과 고흐 본인의 기술이 담긴 글 그리고 심리학자와 정신의학자 등 다양한 분야에서 고흐의 작품특성을 분석한 연구문헌을 참고하였다. 결과: 고흐의 노란색 선호는 알코올과 관련된 황시증과 정신증적 증상과는 관계가 없는 것으로 보이며 내적 동기 등 심리적 요인인 것으로 추정된다. 결론: 고흐의 특징적인 노란색 색채표현은 심리적 요인이 작용한 것으로 보이며 예술가의 특징적인 색채표현은 그 내부에 심리적 동인이 커다란 영향을 가져다준다는 것을 알 수 있다.
