Examination of nature views in the art of painting through the concepts of abstract and abstraction

In the thesis titled " Examination Of Nature Views In The Art Of Painting Through The Concepts Of Abstract And Abstraction ", the importance of nature in painting art, which has become a productive resource for art at all times, is explained. By examining the abstract and abstract representations of nature, which is connected to concrete reality, as well as the evolution of art, the reasons for the artists' departure from objective reality have been investigated, and the underlying attributes of this new identity have been evaluated. In the second part, the perception of nature, which has been the source of the art of painting in every period, is examined, and the two different analysis methods of abstract art, geometric pure abstract and naturalistic abstraction, are explained under two headings. Formal elements such as stylization and deformation, which help to strengthen the expression by characterizing the appearance associated with the analysis methods, are explained. When the pure formal and naturalist approach is examined, it has been seen that nature motifs and nature views, which have inspired painting art in every period, are a powerful means of expression for artists. It has been concluded that the expression of emotions through nature and the unity of abstracted forms play an active role in transforming the work into a sensory expression tool, making it a unique work of art. In the third part of the research, the image, spirituality, and automatist approach, which assume the role of reaching abstract forms of formal structuring formed by internal orientation, were examined. It has been determined that emotional and spiritual feelings are transformed into an abstract means of expression through nature, and orientation to the senses plays an active role in revealing the full artistic potential. In the fourth chapter, the theoretical researches of Worringer and Kandinsky on reaching the absolute have been evaluated, and the orientation to spirituality and spiritual feelings plays a superior role in art, it goes beyond a visual experience and gives the work a unique form spiritually and emotionally, and presents a different world of reality. Beyond that, it has been observed that it influences the audience in a spiritual dimension. In the fifth chapter, the works of 14 local and foreign artists who adopted the lyrical abstract approach in painting were examined, and the works were evaluated through formal analysis and interpretation. As a result, it has become clear that emotional and spiritual feelings are transformed into a means of abstract expression through nature, and the orientation towards sensory expression plays a superior role in revealing the artistic potential. It has been concluded that the artist's inner spiritual feelings strengthen the expression, making the work free and independent, and at the same time allowing the art object to express broader concepts other than the visible.
