초충도
화조도가 주로 꽃, 나무, 식물들과 새들을 주제로 한 반면, 초충도는 주로 곤충들에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 화조도가 남성적인 면이 있다면 초충도는 보다 여성적이다.
While Hwajodo deal with flowers, trees, plants, and birds, chochungdo
focus more on bees, butterflies, and other insects. If we wee to say
that Hwajodo, with its images of tall trees and birds, is masculine,
then chohungdo, which feature such subjects as annual and perennial
plants, flowers, and insects, would be feminine. Rather than resorting
to exaggerated or gaudy images, painters of chochungdo used slender
bushes to give a delicate touch. Chochungdo, which enlivened the room by
disseminating a sense of quietness and profoundness, were usually hung
in the wife' room. |
