Günümüz Heykel Sanatında Geleneksel Malzeme ve Yeni Arayışlar
Abstract
The materials used in the art of scuplture have a logic of creating a spesific form.This logic
determines the bounds of form creating possibilities.In this context the place of the traditional
material and its usage in the new searches in the modern forms of contemporary sculpture art are
studied in the work.In the first part,the traditional materials of the sculpture art are studied and
the importance of traditional material in changing forms is emphasized from the Primitive Period
to the Industrial Age.In the second part,the reflections of the big change on the scupture art
experienced both in society and understanding of art in Industry Age are studied and referring to
the prominent artists' sculptures,the usage of traditional material in the new form searches is
mentioned.Afterwards,studying the prominent artists' works from 1960's to the present,the
rediscovery and the changing nature of the traditional characteristic materials in these works are
examined.Finally,considering the concept of heading for the natural,artistic practices are
produced using traditional materials.
