Toplum Baskısı Altındaki Kadının Ütopik Duruşu

Abstract

This study was based on the Notion of gender by focusing on the image of ‘women’ in the art through several societies. Women and men individuals in society had to supress their identities and involve into the roles depicted by the society forthe social approval. Historically, artists expressed the pressure felt by woman and man from their own perspectives. Many artists envisaged the woman free from the social boundaries produced for women. Woman are depicted as extemely strong, indomitable, and erotic personalities who are able to act independently whatever they wish in the pieces of artists such as Alfonso Maria Mucha, Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. These great-hearted artists pioneered many of their colleagues by the way they approach the Notion of ‘woman’. In this research, the utopic stand pf woman living under pressure was worked by a personal transformation in my own point of view. This study aims to explore how the contemporary artists perceive and handle the concept of gender in seeking for different forms of art. The way the woman and her body handled in the art was practically studied and analyzed.
