Özet:

Self-determination can be called the reinterpretations and productions of the artists by quoting from other works of art. Examples of self-determination have always been found from the past to the present day but have been used under the name of postmodernism as a form of quotation in art. It was also a method used by the artists in their works. The works quoted in the re-production process can show the same meaning and content in different tendencies as they may be the same. The new work produced preserves the connection with the work quoted. The examples addressed in this context are limited to the method of self-determination. The historical process, the philosophical substructure and purpose of this concept are explained. In this study, Postmodernism has also explained its own method of Property, it has been studied through the artists and its works. As a method of research, literature and work analysis methods were used. The works produced in this framework are evaluated both in terms of form and content and in terms of originality and creativity. Artists, in the formation of their original artistic personalities, need to know the development of art history, the artistic examples. In the art, it is inevitably achieved that every time we face ourselves, it will inevitably come out.
