The Reflection Of The Change In City Image From Ottoman Era To Our Day On The Artworks Of Artists


Cities have always been one of the most essential parts of civilizations as they’ve hosted individuals that resided in those cities hence spending most of their lifetime in those areas. Such formation has also affected artists as resident in the city by the context of image. Thus, the city has been the subject to the art of painting with the elements and visual codes it contains as well as its physical structure and dynamics, taking part in various fictional pictorial compositions throughout the time. In this study, the physical structure of the 19th century Ottoman period cities was presented under the first title, the architectural structures, houses, streets in the cities, which are the social life spaces of the period, were investigated in the light of physical sources, and the ways of reflection of the artists of the period in the context of plastic were investigated. In the second title, this review and presentation process took place over today's cities, and comparisons and examples were preferred at this stage. The goal of this research is to examine the changes in the appearance of the 19. Century Ottoman type cities to the contemporary city of today by the context of image, through examples in the art of painting. During this review process - within the art of painting that kept ever-changing along with the altered dynamics of the world - the reflection of city image upon the pictorial art is taken into consideration through interferences over the works of artists bounded by the related era. Thus; in order to make contribution to the literature, through the examples, the way that 19. century Ottoman cities were addressed by the painters is compared to the reflection of contemporary cities on pictorial plane and it was observed that the cities where individuals resided have periodically affected artist’s personal art life.
