TURKISH ART TURKISH Art Refers To All Works Of Visual Art Originating From the geographical area of what is present day Turkey since the arrival of the Turks in the Middle Ages. Turkey also was the home of much significant art produced by earlier cultures, including the Hittites, Ancient Greeks, and Byzantines. Ottoman art is therefore to the dominant element of Turkish art before the 20th century, although the Seljuks and other earlier Turks also contributed. The 16th and 17th centuries are generally recognized as the finest period for art in the Ottoman Empire, much of it associated with the huge Imperial court. In particular the long reign of Suleiman the Magnificent from 1520 to 1566 brought a combination, rare in any ruling dynasty, of political and military success with strong encouragement of the arts. The nakkashane, as the palace workshops are now generally known, were evidently very important and productive, but though there is a fair amount of surviving documentation, much remains unclear about how they operated. They operated over many different media, but apparently not including pottery or textiles, with the craftsmen or artists apparently a mixture of slaves, especially Persians, captured in war (at least in the early periods), trained Turks, and foreign specialists. They were not necessarily physically located in the palace, and may have been able to undertake work for other clients as well as the sultan. Many specialities were passed from father to son. A transition from Islamic artistic traditions under the Ottoman Empire to a more secular, Western orientation has taken place in Turkey. Modern Turkish painters are striving to find their own art forms, free from Western influence. Sculpture is less developed, and public monuments are usually heroic representations of Atatrk and events from the war of independence. Literature is considered the most advanced of contemporary Turkish arts. WHAT IS A MANDALA The meaning of mandala comes from Sanskrit meaning "circle." It appears in the Rig Veda as the name of the sections of the work, but is also used inmany other civilizations, religions and philosophies. Even though it may bedominated by squares or triangles, a mandala has a concentric structure. MANDALAS offer balancing visual elements, symbolizing unity and harmony. Themeanings of individual mandalas is usually different and unique to eachmandala. THE MANDALA pattern is used in many traditions. In the Americas, Indianshave created medicine wheels and sand mandalas. The circular Aztec calendarwas both a timekeeping device and a religious expression of ancient Aztecs. In Asia, the Taoist "yin-yang" symbol represents opposition as well asinterdependence. Tibetan mandalas are often highly intricate illustrationsof religious significance that are used for meditation. From Buddhist stupasto Muslim mosques and Christian cathedrals, the principle of a structurebuilt around a center is a common theme in architecture.
