| Research Abstract |
The title of this research is suggestive of a gloomy and stagnant mood of the end of the 19th century in arts, and we are now living at the end of the 20th cetury. From the association of the century we are capable of sympathizing with the aesthtic atmosphere of "fin de diecle". Certainly we can point out an artistic deadlock since the nineteen-sixties, which could not produce artistically anything inventive, but in spite of this circumstances we don't feel such a gloomy mood of "fin de siecle". Arthur C.Danto characterizes the present situation of arts as pluralistic. Namely today's artists produce whatever they like. This situation confronts the historical development of modern art, which has been criticized from the viewpoint of post-modemism. But the description of "post-modem" is a contradictionary statement. Because the word "modern" originated from the Latin Word "modo", which means the "present or now". Othewise "modern" is regarded as a historically past period, but to what date the origin of this period may be traced back? Then another end of the century, that is, the end of the 18th century appears, when the mew movement of "Romanticism" began to declare the modernity in arts. In this meaning the theme, which this research tried to accomplish, was an attempt, to inquire through the comparative investigation of three kinds of "fin de siecle" the essential problem of the "modern" in arts.
