It was not possible to mention a Western-style art education and an artistic production of current quantity and styletwo centuries ago in Turkey. In other words, existing style of art and art education in Turkey has a quite short history. Thus, it islogical to confer that a quick and radical period of change in Turkish art world was experienced within a pretty short time. In thisstudy, putting forth the emergence and development of Western style painting and the education of painting in Turkey with itsmain lines, it was tried to analyze that how did the process of change affected the actors in the field of art. As a result of thisanalysis, it was concluded that as the artistic change in the field of painting in Ottoman Empire and in the following TurkishRepublic did not arise out of internal dynamics of artistic production field, but from the Westernization desire of the politicalpower, nearly everything about art was in the monopoly of the political power about art for a quiet long time, and there had beenno other social stratum supporting and demanding art, the artists had established clientelist relationships with the political powerespecially till the 1940s and formed a language of painting parallel to the demands of the political power.
