Abstract (EN)

Contemporary Art, called today's art, begins with 'Avant-garde Artists' opposition to the normative and traditional understanding of Classical Art that confines itself. The first priority is only the modernist approaches they have developed about Paintings and Sculpture, followed by the end of the 19th century and 20th century that it has started to take its place in the history of art effectively with urbanization and great transformation after industrialization. Especially, after the first and second World Wars, the effects of major losses and compulsory migrations between nations had diminished the discrimination between the classes. In the works of art, the aesthetic values never discussed in the classical period that had been destroyed by Dadaists. Besides, the art having been expressed with an incredible variety of tools, has become a Fiction Duality where the curators are necessarily at the centre until today. In this case, it has also revealed a different viewer in conceptual art, which is difficult to perceive metaphors and can react in a biased attitude towards artistic duality. In order to maintain its existence, some of the contemporary artists aiming to reach more viewers have created a sensational dialogue with the celebrities of the entertainment world since then. The art, evolving in this way, is now being known with a different perception of aesthetic that brings together opposing views. Key words: Contemporary Art, Contemporary Artist, Avant-garde, Metaphors, Neo Liberal Period, Commercial Meta, Curator, Fiction Duality.
