When we look at today's abstract art, we see that the first examples in Europe emerged in the 20th century under the leadership of Wassily Kandinsky. The first impressions of abstract art were made by Claude Monet's "Sunrise" and subsequently Paul Cezanne made an important contribution to the development of geometric non-figurative arts along with geometric abstract, as he laid the foundations of Cubism by reducing the object to square, cube, rectangular shapes. The effect of these first examples in Europe began to show itself in Turkey in the 1950s. Turkey's intensive work process after 1927, especially in the modern sense of painting and sculpture in terms of culture and art, was carried out in the second century. With the influence of the world war, it turned its direction to Anatolia and with the 1950s, works started to be produced again with western influence. Abstract art is actually the concept of art in which Turkish art is not foreign; "The earliest examples are the examples that appeared in the Mid- Asian Hun Period Pazırk kurgans" With the introduction to Turkish art, many artists began to work on this art movement. These years also come across as the years when nationality studies in art were intensively discussed, and the national understanding of art was discussed due to western influences, with Turkey taking part in the western bloc in the world civilization that became a bipolar administration at the end of the 1939-50s. After 1950, it is seen that the western understanding of art prevailed before abstract studies were carried out. Abstract art, with its entry into Turkish painting, has led to the emergence of the importance of Turkish arts, which has been going on since early times. Especially the start of the Second World War and its aftermath caused Turkish artists to get to know and evaluate Anatolia in more detail. In this process, the artists' traveling to the most remote places in Anatolia caused our artists to examine the roots of Turkish art and to construct the relations with Central Asia, which is the starting point of these roots. When we consider art in the past, it is seen that the Turks dominated many fields of art. In this context, it is seen that they produce important works in both architecture, handicrafts and all other arts. Of these, especially in handicrafts, especially in weaving examples, very successful examples of abstract arts are remarkable. Again, in signature and petroglyph paintings, these abstract examples contain deep and meaningful expressions as if today's artists imitate them. Artists who produced works based on national traditions included their works inspired by works that came from the early Turkish arts up to the 20th century. In this research, the artists and their works, which deal with their own culture, traditions and lifestyles, were examined by separating them from the artists who work in the western style in abstract Turkish painting.
