| Abstract |
| This paper has ventured to propose that a contemporary design tendency to convergence (intercommunication between figures and abstraction, shape and frame, letters and images, various genres) is a kind of universal human creation competence rather than temporary or technological one. The Korean design is too originated and generated of some historical accumulation which are made by Skitai and north-branced peoples` lifework and aesthetic.
Historical documents and texts analysis are used to illustrate the above points. This historical study can be investigated from figurative and artistic expressions in animal illustration in the age of Bronze and can explain its some characters in style. Firstly, illustration of Bronze age reveals its modern character in repetition which supports a communication; when outward, it reaffirms and stresses the important role of symmetric one. It is also worth noting that for the people in this age as well as works, design was already utilitarian and modernized. Secondly, illustration of Bronze age reveals its realistic character in iconization of natural things which supports a representation; when outward, it reaffirms and stresses the important role of s abstract one. It is also worth noting that this design was already aristotelian and classical.
These main characters of the illustration show that our contemporary aesthetic and design in Digital age is not in its unique industrial and modern historical course, but also in our universal tradition which is actually performant. In this respect, we cannot judge that modern and contemporary design aspect is separated from our aesthetic and life works historically accumulated. |
