Abstract

The collection of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea, features a sansu folding screen that was created in 1940 to commemorate the sixtieth birthday of Soseok Kang Jin-Koo. It was created by six oriental painters, who were among the ten best painters in that era. The folding screen has been previously repaired and restored; however, owing to damage such as twisting of its wooden frame, abrasion, and moisture stains, rigorous conservation treatment is required. Hence, scientific research was conducted to analyze the textile, paper and pigments employed while creating the folding screen, to identify the associated material properties. Results showed that the textile used in the screen's picture and janghwang comprise synthetic fibers and natural fibers such as cotton and silk. Various types of papers were used in the folding screen, such as those from mulberry, herbaceous, and coniferous fibers. Furthermore, calcite deposits were found on the base of every picture, and certain colors employed by the artists appear to be produced from different pigments.

국립현대미술관 소장품인 '산수'는 1940년에 제작된 6폭 구성의 병풍이다. 10대가로 불리던 서화가 6명이 제작에 참여한 합작품으로 소석 강진구 선생의 회갑을 축하하기 위한 축수의 목적으로 제작되었다. 과거 수리된 부분이 확인되었음에도 불구하고 병풍틀의 뒤틀림, 습기얼룩 및 오염 등 보존상태가 양호하지 않아 장기적 보존 및 전시활용을 위해 보존처리가 진행되었다. 또한 재질특성을 확인하고자 제작에 사용된 직물섬유, 종이섬유, 안료에 대한 과학적 조사와 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 화본 및 회장비단에 사용된 직물섬유는 면, 견 등의 천연섬유와 함께 합성섬유가 사용되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 병풍 속틀에 사용된 종이의 경우 닥나무 인피섬유, 초본류, 침엽수 섬유 등 다양한 수종이 관찰되었다. 안료분석 결과, 모든 작품의 바탕층에서 Calcite가 확인되었고, 색상별 일부 착색안료는 작가에 따라 차이를 보였다.
