Abstract

This essay provides new evidence for a historiographical re-contextualization of the early artistic practice of Turkish artist Yüksel Arslan (1933–2017). Within this scholarship, Arslan is generally portrayed as an outsider figure who resisted traditional artistic categorizations; consequently, the historical conditions leading to his artistic posture in 1950s Istanbul, where his career began, remain underexplored. Arslan's fascination for prehistoric methods of image making, his erudite subject matters, and his contributions to the legacies of surrealism and of art brut have been mostly regarded by critics and art historians as idiosyncratic elements of his artistic identity. Focusing on Arslan's early production in 1950s Istanbul and its reception in art criticism and art historiography, the essay argues that Arslan's outsider status was informed by and contributed to widespread debates about artistic heritage and what its role should be in Turkey's fraught political scenario of the 1950s, torn between liberalism and centralized governance, and in the context of Turkey's contemporary artistic production.

从内部看Yüksel Arslan的局外人实践,1955–64
本文为土耳其艺术家Yüksel Arslan(1933–2017)早期艺术实践的历史重新语境化提供了新的证据。在这种学术中,阿尔斯兰通常被描绘成一个抵制传统艺术分类的局外人;因此,导致他在20世纪50年代伊斯坦布尔艺术姿态的历史条件,也就是他的职业生涯开始的地方,仍然没有得到充分的探索。阿尔斯兰对史前图像制作方法的着迷,他渊博的主题,以及他对超现实主义和野兽派艺术遗产的贡献,大多被评论家和艺术历史学家视为他艺术身份的独特元素。文章聚焦于阿尔斯兰在20世纪50年代伊斯坦布尔的早期作品及其在艺术批评和艺术史学中的受欢迎程度,认为阿尔斯兰的局外人地位受到了关于艺术遗产的广泛辩论的影响,并促成了关于艺术遗产的广泛辩论,以及艺术遗产在土耳其50年代令人担忧的政治场景中应该扮演什么角色,以及在土耳其当代艺术生产的背景下。
