Özet:

In the newly established Republic of Turkey, important steps have been taken towards modernization in art, as in all disciplines. Atatürk especially expressed the importance of art at every opportunity, emphasizing it with the words 'Success in fine arts is the most definitive proof that all revolutions have been achieved', and demonstrated it with the state policies he implemented. With the laws passed, art was supported and talented students were sent abroad to receive education. At the end of the training they received, they returned to their country and played important roles in the formation of contemporary Turkish ceramic art by transferring their knowledge and experiences. Necessary arrangements have been made in order to modernize the educational approaches of existing institutions. It spread to Anatolia with the opening of new art institutions. With the innovations made, ceramic art has reached the level it deserves, interacting with today's world, organizing symposiums, fairs and exhibitions, and achieving modernity as an understanding of art and a language of expression. In this article, the first ceramic artists of the history of the Republic are discussed, touching on the path followed by Turkish ceramic art towards modernization and the stages of development of ceramic art.
