Özet:

 This study examines the paintings of Frank Auerbach and Leon Kossoff, two of the leading painters of British figurative painting, in terms of the relationship between representation and meaning. This qualitative research relies on data obtained from published written sources about Frank Auerbach and Leon Kossoff, as well as an integrated review and analysis of artworks representing these artists artistic visions. Drawing on the discourses of the sociologist Stuart Hall regarding the relationship between representation and meaning, the study evaluates how the artworks style, technique, and thematic characteristics affect the formation of meaning for the receiver. In the analyses on the relationship between representation and meaning carried out on the artists works, readings were encountered that both artists understanding of art showed similar characteristics. It has been observed that both artists paintings, marked by an intense impasto technique, exhibit features bordering on abstraction, which blurs the identity characteristics of the depicted figures. This technique, along with ambiguous identity portrayals, creates sensory messages of pessimism, melancholy, and psychological depth for the viewer.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı, İngiliz figüratif resim sanatının önde gelen ressamlarından Frank Auerbach ve Leon Kossoffun resimlerini temsil-anlam ilişkisi açısından incelemektir. Nitel araştırmadan yararlanılan bu çalışmada veriler Frank Auerbach ve Leon Kossoff üzerine yayınlanmış yazılı kaynaklar ve söz konusu sanatçıların sanat anlayışlarını temsil eden sanat eserleri üzerinden bütünleşik tarama ve eser incelemeleri yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Sosyolog Stuart Hallun temsil-anlam ilişkisi üzerine söylemlerinden hareketle gerçekleştirilen eser okumalarında araştırmaya konu olan sanat eserlerinin üslup, teknik ve konu özelliklerinin alımlayıcı üzerinde meydana getirdiği anlam oluşumları değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Sanatçıların eserleri üzerine gerçekleştirilen temsil-anlam ilişkine dair incelemelerde, her iki sanatçının sanat anlayışlarının benzer özellikler gösterdiği yönünde okumalarla karşılaşılmıştır. Yoğun impasto tekniğinden yararlanan söz konusu sanatçıların figüratif temelli eserlerinin soyutlamanın kıyısında bir özellik gösterdiği, bu durumun ise resme konu olan figürlerin kimlik özelliklerini belirsizleştirmeye neden olduğu görülmüştür. Sanatçıların resimlerinde gözlemlenen yoğun impasto tekniği, belirsizlik içeren kimlik anlatımları vb. kullanımların alımlayıcı üzerinde karamsarlık, melankoli ve ruhsal derinlik yönünde duyusal iletiler meydana getirdiği görülmüştür.
