| Abstract |
| The trend of art is unfolded by environmental factors of the period and ideology. Therefore, in order to discuss the future of art, the means of understanding the form and value of 19th century paintings can be a prerequisite of perception. The 19th century showed a critical and opposing attitude toward past and stimulated and influenced each and every aspect of human activity, let alone politics, economy, and society. It eventually prepared the starting point for progress into modern society. The transient society of haighly developed mammonism, which flows from late 19th century to 20th century, unconsciously expressed the inherent contradictions and the times simultaneously foreshadowed the possibility of new art and literature. In such situation, based on the confused times of the late 19th century, the social image of sexual culture clings to the female images of symbolism and compulsively to the visual image of optical illusion. Such trends are analyzed for their inherent ideological in-depth consciousness, focusing on the problems and contents of the works such as expression of emotion and desire repressed by the standard of sexual norm, senses, dreams, and myths. In actual work analysis, the metaphors are interpreted while the meaning of grotesque is intended to be analyzed. Through this process, the importance in placed on conveyance of katharsis and expression of dramatical factors. The late 19th century brought about various debates and conflicts socially and culturally; decadence and pessimism representing fin-de-siecle phenomenon were prevalent. Pursuant to such objective, this study is expected to relight the metaphors expressed in works centralizing on `grotesque` themes, among various types of fin-de-siecle formats, through conditions of altering human nature and specific theme and ideas, based on image of society, painting, literary, moral, and religious thoughts forming allegory in art, following the iconology process.ths. |
