다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is to examine Bronislava Nijinska's view of art through analysis of「Les Noces」, one of the masterpieces of modernistic ballet and further to inquire the new tendency of ballet shown in works of art of the 20th century.
In this context, it begins with examination of the life of Nijinska, background of dance formation through her choreographical activities, and general propensity of her dances.
The analysis of「Les Noces」which is the keynote in this paper consists of two parts, form aspect and content aspect. The movement, and element that makes up dancing in form aspect, seeks purity, removing the descriptive aspect and emphasizes the abstractness with moderate and neat gestures.
In a whole characteristic form, it is analyzed that the dynamic form of movement itself gives liveliness to dancing with showing the form of architectural choreography which maximizes the visual effectiveness of ensemble ballet, deviating from leading role-centered form.
In the aspect of content, it raises the symbolism of wedding, describing contradictoriness of traditional wedding and deep mentality of and inside of leading role through the analysis of the folk matter in Russian rural community with a view of female choreographer. And this represents the abstraction, primitive characteristics, and similarities of modern visual arts.
As seen in the result of analysis, Nijinska tried to choreograph the structural and abstract dance with pure movement, emerging from the dramatic ballet, in expressing the work and transmitting the subject through「Les Noces」.
「Les Noces」in the meaning of dance history has been like a milestone which provided a new view of modern ballet in the context of modern artistic thought, with breaking from Classical Ballet form which was continued for centuries. The tradition of academic ballet that Nijinska received provided a fundamental basis for her own experimental choreography and the attitude putting much value on movement implied the early inclination for coming Neo-Classicism.
The art of Nijinska has been regarded as an opportunity which was used to recognize new possibility and direction point of ballet art against the quickening of modern dances in the 20th century. It clearly shows that it has been a monumental activity which enabled to cope with the coming era through extension of the expression sphere of dance language.
