Abstract:

When the Turkish art history is studied, it is clear that the art, especially known as traditional art, remains under the influence of Orientalism. The concept of "Islamic Art" and the prohibition of painting in Islam are based on the abolition of artists and artworks in the territories considered Islamic Geography. The definitions made in literature scans as traditional arts have been founded and placed on written sources to eliminate the characteristic of art’s innovative, creative and continuous development. The Western "Islamic Art" or "Islamic Art", which is written as an effective art of Islam but is placed as "Islamic Art" in the concept axis of the arts such as thesis, miniature, ebru and line, while the artists performing these arts have gained a special status through this definition and have not objected to this definition. The Orientalists accept and define the concept of "traditional art" and "Islamic art" as a folklore element. The influence of these definitions has transformed the line of development of these arts into social and political negative. The concept of "Islamic Art" used in contradiction with both the Qur'an and the spirit of art is revealed as "a art commanded by religion." This situation produces contradictory and reflective consequences for art and general art theories. Christianity began especially in the second century and especially in the 8th and 9th centuries. It has been discussed about the painting ban that was the top of the century. This is the case for the Muslim community. While it is known that the phrases starting with "There is a painting or shape prohibition" do not rely on the Qur'an, the Islamic Book; it is not known that this prohibition is accepted as Israelity and that those who passed from Judaism to Islam, from Judaism to Christianity have brought their beliefs of remaining from Judaism to these religions as a culture. In this study, the influence of orientalism on Islamic geography through the art terms will be studied under three titles, the concept of "Islamic Art" (religious art) as the conceptual issues based on religion in the art, the dimension of religion, the dimension of art, and the political dimension.
