Türk Sanat Tarihinde ve Çağdaş Türk Sanatında Grid Formu

This research examines the art historical process of the Turkish states established chronologically, starting from the 'Proto Turks' (5000 BC) when the Turks first appeared on the stage of history, based on the grid form and its reflections on art.Then, contemporary Turkish artists who use the grid form in their works today are evaluated.The Turkish states subject to evaluation are seen in order as the sixteen Turkish states in Turkish art history, the Hun State, the Western Hun Empire, the European Huns, the Hephtalites, the Gktrk State, the Uyghur Khaganate, the Avar State, the Khazar State, the Karakhanids, the Ghaznavids, the Great Seljuk State, the Khwarezm State, the Timur State, the Mughal State, the Golden Horde Khanate and the Ottoman Empire.While following the historical process of the Turkish states, especially the states that used the grid form in their art applications and the exemplary works and plans that emerged during their time are discussed.Among the sample works in question are the diagonal square form showing the directions from the Gokturk period, the square-planned kurgans and tomb chambers and the square-decorated Pazyryk carpet from the Scythian Turks period before the Huns, the circular (square) planned tent from the Hun Turks period, Squareform architectural structure plans from the Uyghur Turks period, square-form architectural structure decorations from the Karakhanid Turks period, the square-form 'Seljuk Star' symbol from the Anatolian Seljuk Turks period and the square-form 'Tlsml Gmlek' from the Ottoman Turks period, calligraphy written in the Makili style, miniature art and grid-shaped window network are seen.Among these examined examples, the grid form is sometimes turned into a tool value and sometimes into a goal value.Later in the research, twenty-one artists from today's contemporary Turkish art are identified and seven artists who use the grid form more intensively are evaluated in the context of their sample works.These contemporary Turkish artists include Erol Akyava
