Özet:

 Throughout human history, female body has been one of the most fundamental visual elements in art, continuously redefined within various historical and cultural contexts. This article examines representations of the female body in art from prehistoric times to the present, focusing on the influence of social stereotypes. The female body has been associated with fertility and nature, idealized through aesthetic norms, and eroticized, often shaped by prevailing gender roles. By analyzing selected artworks within historical and societal frameworks, this study aims to reveal how art reproduces, reinforces, transforms gender roles through representations of the female body. Analyzing the aesthetic, political and cultural dimensions of women body with its multi-layer meanings contributes to understanding of the relationship betweenart and social structure.

 Kadın bedeni, tarih boyunca sanatın temel görsel anlatı unsurlarından biri olarak, dönem ve kültür çerçevesinde sürekli yeniden tanımlanmıştır. Bu makale, tarih öncesi dönemlerden günümüze kadın bedeninin sanattaki temsillerini, toplumsal kalıp yargılar ekseninde ele almaktadır. Kadın bedeni, doğurganlık, doğa, estetik ve erotizm gibi kavramlarla ilişkilendirilmiş ve bu temsillerde toplumsal kalıp yargılar belirleyici olmuştur. Makalede seçilen sanat eserleri üzerinden, kadın bedeni temsillerinin toplumsal cinsiyet rollerini nasıl ürettiği, dönüştürdüğü veya pekiştirdiği analiz edilmektedir. Ayrıca, özgün seramik çalışma olan Fantasma örneğiyle, kadın bedeninin temsiline eleştirel bir bakış açısı kazandırılarak konuya özgün bir katkı sağlanmaktadır.
