This paper investigates the influence of chronophotography on twentieth-century modern art. Etienne- Jules Marey, nineteenth-century French physiologist, invented chronophotography to analyze the locomotion of animals. Although Marey’s experiments with photography were resulted from his scientific intention to investigate movements, his chronophotography has a substantial impact on twentieth-century art. First of all, French academic artists had corrected the leg positions of galloping horses by referring to photographic records provided by Marey and Eadweard Muybridge. However, scientific instantaneous photography was not well received by the art world. It had to counter fierce criticism from the artists, Auguste Rodin in particular, and writers who believed in artistic conventions. Since Marey’s death, a number of artists have reevaluated the significance of his photography and adopted it in expressing their individual visions of modernity. František Kupka in Puteaux Group was one of the first avant-garde artists who were deeply influenced by Marey’s photography. Marcel Duchamp referred to Marey’s chronophotography, which introduced him to the idea of mechanization as an alternative to a sensible beauty. Italian Futurists also used Marey’s photography as their visual reference to express the dynamic sensation of the passage of time. Giacomo Balla was familiar with Marey’s photography and directly influenced by his chronophotography. While taking Marey’s image as a model, Anton Bragaglia tried to overcome the limit of his instantaneous photography by stressing the continuous trajectory of movement, with which to address photodynamism. Despite its strong impact, Marey’s photography encountered stiff resistance from the art world, which valued the conventions in art over the novelty in technology. It should be noted that Umberto Boccioni criticized Bragaglia’s active use of photography because Boccioni did not accept photography as art medium. The apparent conflicts and ambivalence in accepting Marey’s photography by the Futurists, who promoted the idea of dynamism, show the complex relationship between art and science, art and photography.

한국미술이론학회는 미술이론의 고유한 역할과 방향을 모색하고자 창립되었다. 미술창작과 해석에 필요한 제반이론을 생산하고 다양한 미술현장의 활동을 검증하고 비판하며 연구하는 학회로서 미술의 이론과 실제사이의 분리현상을 극복하는데 기여하고자 한다. 현재 미술관련 학회들의 성격이 대부분 이론영역에 치중해있고, 학과나 전공에 특화되어 있는데 반하여, 본 학회는 미술의 현장과 창작과정을 적극 반영하고 미학, 미술사 등 기존의 미술이론 영역 뿐 아니라 실기와 미술교육, 경영, 행정, 전시 등 다양한 분야를 총괄하는 학제 간 연구를 활성화시키고자 한다. 앞으로 다양한 미술이론 영역에 대한 심도 있는 연구는 물론 한국미술계의 발전과 변화에 조력할 수 있는 실천적이고 생산적인 미술이론의 형성에 본 학회는 최선을 다할 것이다.
