This analysis of the Korean landscape painting in the 1990s and 2000s focuses on three issues in particular. First, its relation to true-view landscape painting (Korean: Jinkyoungsansu-hwa), which has been mentioned ever since modern times. Second, the dismantling of dichotomies between tradition and modern, Koreanity and contemporaneity, East Asian landscape painting (Chinese: shanshui-hua, Korean: sansu-hwa) and Western landscape painting, which was driven by pluralization in postmodern perspective. Third, the geographical change between the landscape paintings of the 1990s and 2000s.<BR> When the Europeans first encountered the traditional landscape painting of East Asia, their frame of reference was set to Western standards. On the basis of Eurocentrism, they regarded the East Asian concept of landscape in the same light as the Western landscape and diluted its original philosophical and ethical context. This might have been the natural consequence of cultural differences. However, East Asian landscape painting has a much longer history and shows both similarities and differences with the Western landscape painting. On the other hand, East Asians are prone to understand the Western landscape painting in the context of their own landscape painting, but this approach obviously has its own limits as well.<BR> The most critical problem was created during the Japanese occupation period in Korea. Around that time, the traditional Korean landscape painting went through the modernization process and the cultural and aesthetic concepts from the Western world, Japan, and Korea got mixed together within it. The influence of that incident prevailed in the 20th century and is still valid today. However, continuity does not always guarantee permanency. In conclusion, this paper suggests “deconstructing and reconstituting” as a keyword to explain landscape painting around the 2000s.
