Handling Traditional Arts with Abstract Art in Turkish Painting
The development process of art movements in Europe has been shaped by the influence of new ideas or differences of opinion. In this context, it is seen that the concept of abstract emerged with the combination of many thoughts and ideas. It is known that abstract art was first taken up by Wassily Kandinsky in the 20th century. The starting point and first impressions of the abstract style become evident in the works of Monet and C & eacute;zanne. As a result of Claude Monet's painting "Sunrise" and Paul C & eacute;zanne's laying the foundations of Cubism by reducing the object to cube, square and rectangular shapes, it inspired the emergence of non-figurative and geometric abstract art. The influence of abstract art developed in Europe on Turkish painting dates back to the 1950s. In fact, the fact that Turkish art was not alien to abstract art in the past is seen in the examples in the Paz & imath;r & imath;k kurgans of the Central Asian Hun Period and in traditional Turkish arts. With the introduction of abstract art into Turkish art, many artists turned to abstract forms of expression. Abstract art has revealed the importance of Turkish arts in Turkish painting, which has been going on since early times. In particular, the beginning and continuation of World War II led Turkish artists to explore and evaluate Anatolia in more detail. In this process, artists traveled to different parts of Anatolia and made investigations, researched the roots of Turkish art and constructed the relations of these roots with Central Asia. Turks have been active in many fields of art in the past. In this respect, there are important works that have survived to the present day in many branches of art such as architecture and handicrafts. Of these, very successful examples of abstract forms, especially in handicrafts, especially in weaving examples, are remarkable.
