Abstract

Ornaments had been composed of the essential factors in the traditional aesthetic theory while defined as a part of actions to create world in the medieval ages. The dichotomy of structure and ornament, which is utilized as the framework to despise ornament, has been maintained in architecture and paintings since the medieval ages. Ornaments has developed in the theory and practice of architecture, paintings and industrial arts since 19th century. Ornament was despised and regarded as committing a sin in modernism which takes a serious view of structure and function, but it revived its position in the flow of post-modernism. This theoretical and practical change about ornament suggests the historical possibility of aesthetic transfiguration. Klimt's ornament paintings result affluently in the possibility of aesthetic and artistic transfiguration and get the special position in that ornament consists of one of the most important linchpins in his ornament art and aesthetic transfiguration. His ornament is similar to a prerequisite of his paintings because it ensures his personality of paintings. Klimt's ornaments are composed of the formal structure itself in his paintings and the structure of ornament leads to his special notion of female and significance of life. This study tries a modelling analysis about ornament characteristics in Klimt's paintings and investigates the process and the quality of aesthetic transfiguration which makes it a condition that the quality of ornament brings about paintings. This study has this objective and background about Klimt's paintings, seeks the quality of ornament and the essence of aesthetic transfiguration, i.e. investigating the process and characteristics of it and differentiating between formal structure and contents.
