Abstract :

The 20th century has become a century in which revolutions, in term of scientific and technological inventions as well as social events experienced, have taken place. Significant developments lasting from atomic fusion to Einstein’s theory of relativity have caused everything known to human brain and perception of reality up to date to be upside down. In the constantly moving world, emotions of artist are naturally fed by this movement. Art from the early appearance until today has remained in its evolution in relation to subject and object, which is consistently changed but never disappeared. Art, since the 20th century, has been in search for new formations in need of purification from a naturalist sense. The industrialization process, which goes fast and human perception becomes practical in parallel to this sense, has caused different perspectives in the concept of reality to rise. As these developments have shown that reality is different from the perspective of how it is seen, conscious goes through its path by making cause and effect relationship to reach the core in its search for reality. The Impressionist sense of art, stemming from these developments, has prepared the end of naturalist sense of art. Every new movement which will take place in naturalist sense is determined as the final point of reality to be achieved, and it would be nothing short of repetitive of art itself. Then, the camera produced by the human mind and causing astonishment took the wise joy in reaching the reality which was preserved by the artist away by reducing it to seconds. As a result of these developments an artist confines himself/herself to art and this becomes formal problem of art in reaching the changing reality. At this point, art enters into abstract searches by purifying itself from a naturalist sense.
