Research on the Artistic Identity of Gastronomy Through Aesthetic

Abstract

In the first stages of history, mankind has been nourished only to meet its physiological needs, and then observes that taste and visuality are a pleasure side of the experience. In time, the dishes prepared with the effort of putting out ''nice'' made the kitchen applications an art. Aesthetics, one of the basic values of art and discipline, is an important guide in the study of the artistic identity of gastronomy. In the study, the relationship between gastronomy and art, which is an interdisciplinary study area, which is considered as a research question that gastronomy and kitchen applications can not be evaluated as art, has been questioned. The evaluation made reveals that different aesthetic points of view reveal different results. According to the idealistic aesthetic sense, gastronomy can be seen as part of art. According to this understanding, art, like science, is kept separate from other activities of man. Expecting something in practice from the arts is associated with a non-artistic attitude. On the other hand, according to pragmatist aesthetics, gastronomy can be regarded as art. As a matter of fact, according to this understanding which does not put the aesthetic against science and examines it more extensively, art can be explained with the expression of aesthetic experience and it can be accepted as gastronomic art.
