Journal Title: idil Sanat ve Dil Dergisi - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to present respectability and disrespectfulness and the place of woman that was respected as a spiritual creature as an art object in art works, to examine her artist personality in history and to emphasize the social importance of woman. Woman in Chalcolithic and Neolithic Ages, especially in Hittites and Phrygians, was symbolized as “Mother Goddess” in both functional and artistic works by considering the fertility of woman. In 6AD, in the middle east prior to islam, girls had just been buried alive, while they were at their mothers’ knees due to the shame they brought to their family .While woman theme was shaped as idol an amulet with ceramic forms in these periods, she was presented as marble sculptures in Roman, Byzantine and Hellenistic periods, thus, her importance for society and her persistence from the past to this day were emphasized. It shows that woman was reflected as both a goddess and an aesthetical object in the art works of men. Moreover, woman was not only presented as either Goddess Venus (Aphrodite) or Helen by almost every artist but she was also either painted or placed in relives as an image showing plastic effect. Although woman was sometimes treated insupportably and she was sometimes seen as a creature that harbours devil spirits, she has always been source of inspiration for art and artists. Today changes in human rights and new legal regulations, brought women protection to domestic violence, has been made. However, in the printed media and visiual media, it has been mentioned that domestic violence has not yet ceased . While woman once herself was an art object or plastic element of art work, she is now the creator of art works. This is an indication of the fact that the perception of society for woman has changed and the place woman placed herself in the universe. Key Words: Woman, Art, Mythology, Mother Goddess.
