Çağdaş heykel sanatının gelişimi ve Türkiye`deki sonuçları

Abstract

106 SUMMARY I started my study titled `The development of contemporary sculpture and its reflections in Turkey` by stating the importance of renaissance and all the changes that it brought in. The necessity of analyzing the fundamental probleme of our age has been the point of departure for my study, just like many other researchers who is studying the cultural values and the modern art which is a derivative of these values. My study analyzes these problems in the context of their influences on contemporary art and especially contemporary sculpture. Next part of my study analyzing the development of modern sculpture from the end of 19 century to our day has been limited by the availability of sources of information. In this part I've tried to present the process starting from Rodm up to modern times in the context of primary artists and schools. Since these artists showed the characteristics of their schools to a great extent, classification +Vi was unavoidable but in the second half of the 20 century things were not the some at all. The method that I have followed during the preparation of the section on the development of the sculpture in Turkey were not quite different than the one that I have employed for the West. The port rait of the Ottoman society before and after the reform (namely tan- zimat) constituted the milestones in my method. Our journey which has started from the year 1883 has come to an end by presenting the main examples of the development of sculp ture up to present time. Upon this journey, I have tried to say something about the future of the sculpture by taking the present state of the sculpture as my referance point.
