Abstract
According to generational theory, individuals who share an era’s conditions, social events, distresses, and similar faith and who have similar responsibilities tend to show similar behavioral patterns. The question that the present study initially addressed was "What is the correspondence of this theory’s premises in the field of art with particular focus on contemporary art?’’ As the literature search proceeded, questions such as the following increased: Can this theory’s premises be the source of criticisms made in today’s art?, Could it be that art, like society, is also planned (or manipulated)?. Thus, the scopes that remain unanswered widened and the literature search was futile. It was deemed necessary to first outline an introductory general framework of the topic addressed. Accordingly, based on today’s discourse, an attempt was made to understand the correspondence between generations and contemporary art. This research will serve as a base for future studies on this topic.
