Oh Chiho and Van Gogh : their Blossoming Orchards
  • 오병욱

초록

How similar is Oh, Chiho’s <Apple tree orchard> to Van Gogh's <Apricot in blossoms> ? The theme is “Blossoming Orchard”, which is full of flowers. And the compositions is also similar : the horizon that separates about a third of the canvas, and the line of field furrows that run to a diagonal line, and the structure that deals with about three trees as the main subjects, and the outlining technique for representing trees is similar. The answer to how to interpret this similarity was found in Oh Chiho's diary in 1937. Chiho studied and learned how to express the sun and the life from Van Gogh. At the same time, he made it his own painting theory, and based on this painting theory, he created <Apple tree orchard>. What he showed in this painting was a meticulous reproduction of the real scenery according to this law of nature, and he used his own brush strokes researched on Van Gogh's coloring and brush touches as a way of painting in the plein air. We define Van Gogh, whose life is a theme, not an idealist or a romanticist, as a postImpressionist or an expressionist. Chiho in his diary defines Van Gogh a “Colorist”. Almost every artist, like Van Gogh, starts out as a realist who paints his surroundings, and by some means decides his or her own style at some point in time, 32-year-old Chiho had a great sympathy with Van Gogh in 1937 and took his style of painting into his own style. So the similarity between the works of the two artists is superficial, and is due to a solidarity far beyond the superficial similarities. They realized their own experiences in paintings and recreated the subject's reality by assimilating it with themselves. Chiho might defined his art style based on realism as Colorist style. His colorist style, set in 1937, will later reach its peak in his 1939 work <House facing south>, which would have studied and applied the methods of impressionists and neoimpressionists who often use violet hues.
