REFLECTION OF CHANGING DAILY LIFE PRACTICES IN TURKEY ON THE WORKS OF ÇALLI GENERATION (1914-1950 PERIOD)

Abstract

Everyday life has emerged with modernism and constitutes a reality constructed by society. Everyday life is discussed from different perspectives affected by the social structure. For this reason, daily life is reshaped with the developments. Every society's daily life practices change according to the differentiating life models and cultural codes. In the post-war period of 1914, daily life practices have changed completely. After 1914, during the years of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of the Turkish Republic, these practices began to transform, and people tried to adapt themselves to this situation by developing their own tactics. Changing and transforming practices and the establishment of the state have led to changes in people's daily practices. This process has been realized through resources that will enable us to make sense of the transfer and transformation of time to us years later. In addition to written sources, visual sources also have an important place in the formation of this process. With the painters who reflect that period to us visually, and especially with the 1914 impressionism movement and the Çallı Generation, daily life themes began to be treated in oil paintings. Art, which has been transformed with the influence of the Contemporary art movements that are dominant in Western societies, has started to be effective since the 20th century. Impressionism movement is defined as trying to describe the changing and transforming structure of the society that emerged in this framework with brush strokes. With the influence of the Çallı generation painters by this movement, the effects of this movement were reflected in the works. The aim of this study is to examine how the changing and transforming daily life practices are reflected in the works of the Çallı generation and to describe the relationship between the impressionism movement and the transformation of daily life.
