This very interesting and rare book includes the texts on the first 32 pages. Some texts were translated from English and French languages by Sükrü Aysan, Nazli Damlaci, and Faruk Ulay. Articles in the first 32 pages: Kavramsal sanat [i.e. Conceptual art] by Sükrü Aysan.; Felsefenin sonu sanatin baslangici [i.e. The end of philosophy and the beginning of art] by Joseph Kosuth.; Kavramsal sanat üzerine paragraflar [i.e. Paragraphs on Conceptual Art] by Sol Lewitt.; Kavramsal sanat üzerine tümceler [i.e. Sentences on Conceptual Art] by Sol Lewitt.; Not, by Bernar Venet.; Giris notu, by Joseph Kosuth, and Inekleri düzene sokmak için bir yöntem [i.e. A Method For Sorting Cows] by Robert Morris. They're the first and the earliest translations (and for some only) in Turkey on the Conceptual Art. The Definition of Art Group is an original Conceptual Art approach. Conceptual Art was founded to research the structure and nature of art. Conceptual artists question the structure of art through a progression of work that refers to the concept of art. What is being considered is a work or an idea directed towards the analysis of all the facets of and contradictions within the concept of art. Sol LeWitt said, "this type of art is related to all intellectual processes". Impressionism and Cubism gave the first formulas for questioning art. Later, as a result of Duchamp's systematic operations about art's boundaries, function, language, and its being, art again became an intellectual process. Today, the subject of art itself and its place in the universe has reached a stage where its effort is directed towards understanding existence. The stages of this change make twentieth-century art history. Only an art audience informed about the development of art can comprehend contemporary work. To be able to understand today's artistic endeavors, it is necessary to make a conceptual history of art. Pure Conceptual Art by taking this situation to its extreme point, accepts no other audience or observer than the ones actively participating in the making of the work. Thus, art transforms into a state as serious as a science that needs no audience. When using the term, Conceptual Art or its more characteristic name, Analytical Art, in referring to a specific period in the history of Conceptual Art as an approach to art, one is speaking of art that has completely eliminated the production of objects and all plastic art forms. But if one considers the broader understanding of conceptualism, within our twentieth-century art, in addition to the side that verifies by analyzing itself, there is also a logical and philosophical dimension directed towards the comprehension of its structure. In other words, a strongly intellectual art continues its hegemony today. In our time, art without an idea can not be effective. (Source: Official site of Sanat Tanimi Toplulugu). In 1961, philosopher and artist Henry Flynt coined the term "concept art" in an article bearing the same name which was appeared in a proto-Fluxus publication An Anthology of Chance Operations. Flynt's concept art, he maintained, devolved from his notion of "cognitive nihilism," in which paradoxes in logic are shown to evacuate concepts of substance. Drawing on the syntax of logic and mathematics, concept art was meant jointly to supersede mathematics and the formalistic music then current in serious art music circles. Therefore, Flynt maintained, to merit the label concept art, work had to be an object-critique of logic or mathematics via linguistic paradox, a quality which is absent from subs...

1944Very Good Turkish Original two manuscript ALSs and one manuscript autobiography including 30 lines. 1 p.; 2 p.; 2 p. In Ottoman script. Only one letter with date and letterhead of 'Vecih Bereketoglu'. In his first letter dated April 26, [19]44, he talks about the painting and oil painting he is working on. He states that he has met Fazil Bey since 1923. Another paper includes a two-pages autobiography. Second ALS includes 19 lines. Hasan Vecih Bereketoglu was a Turkish painter, influenced by impressionistic aesthetics, who took painting lessons from Halil Pasha and at the Julian Academy in Paris. He is one of the painters of the 1914 Generation. He was the son of Kazasker Bereketzade Cemil Bey. Since his father was a civil servant, he completed his primary education in Egypt. He completed high school in Rhodes. He studied at Istanbul Darülfunun Law Faculty. He took his first lessons in painting from Halil Pasha between 1916 and 1920. He became one of the names that supported the establishment of the Fine Arts Union. He was in Paris between 1922-1923 and continued at the Art Academie Julian. Upon his return to Turkey in 1923 he became the Chairman of Kadikoy Halkevi. When he moved to Ankara in 1943, he became the Presidential office manager. During these years, he produced still life works. He produced such works by adopting the impressionist understanding of his art life in general. It was seen that he was influenced by Halil Pasha, Hikmet Onat, and Nazmi Ziya Güran in his works on Istanbul. He was mostly remembered as an 'open-air painter' with his paintings with the views of Fenerbahçe, Kurbagalidere, and Göksu. In these paintings, he did not see the light element as the element that determines the color and presented it with the reflection it's created in nature.

Throughout his long career, Picasso s eclectic genius was expressed in the lively interest he took in spectacles dance, circus, theater and the corrida even the pleasure he took in creating a spectacle of himself. These are the themes that this exhibition explores. Another theme that emerges implicitly are the close ties that this prodigious artist maintained with luminaries in many fields of creative endeavor: artists, writers, poets, musicians, and theater people. This circle, "Picasso s galaxy," made him, according to Pierre Cabanne, "one of the key figures and witnesses of the movements and transformations of one of the most extraordinary periods in art history." Arkas Art Center represents Turkey with the "Picasso: the Art of Spectacle" exhibition in the context of "Picasso-Méditerranée", a series of exhibitions in which various institutions from different countries participate. Each space will guide you through a series of studies, mock-ups, sketches, sculptures, paintings, drawings, photographs, films, costumes, and videos, documents that attest to the various areas of expertise of this versatile artist who exploded classical traditions, paving the way for so many areas of modern art.
