Özet: This study focuses on the notion of art and the approaches of the important thinkers against the notion of art. The idea that art is imitation has been mentioned in Plato’s Republic for the first time. Plato says that art is the third distortion of reality and in order to support his idea he gives the example of a couch. According to him a carpenter builds many couches that participate in the one idea (form) of couch, which was first conceived by the Great Craftsman, the creator of all ideas. Thus carpenters are twice removed from the reality of couch. Then the artist who paints pictures of couches is three times removed from reality since they produce no more than a representation of the appearance of the idea. Since it is not real it is detrimental and it should be prohibited
