According to Eco, ugly has an aesthetic value and this value is precious. Monster figures seen in sculptures and paintings representing mythological ages encompass the idea of ugly in art. Therefore, the concept of 'perfect beauty of ugly’ has left its place in art and has gained acclaim. Umberto Eco defines this situation as ‘an aesthetic of eternity’, and notes that no one has ever focused on the formal examination of the phenomenon of ugliness before. Thus, beauty concept has opened up a working area for itself in art for centuries. Until the 'aesthetic anxiety or beautiful anxiety’ as the most important element of art in understanding of Avant-garde Art is removed, It is no longer a measurement for an art form. The quest of beauty throughout the critical art movements such as: Cubism, Dadaism, Neo-Dadaism, Surrealism, Nihilism and Kitsch have left its place to the notion of ugliness. Art is based on a theory of reflection, but this reflection is not always the reflection of the beauty we see in nature but the reproduction of the interpretation. So the beauty of real life does not have to be beautiful in art. In the same way, the ugly in nature can also be beautiful in art. Fine Arts is not just a conceptual structure that encompasses all kinds of formal visuality. The phenomenon, defined as fine arts, is a search for interpretation of cultural diversity and timelessness. This concept is not a search for beauty but an aesthetic and a search for a comment. This search can be carried out with worry in the exact opposite of the beauty. The art of perceiving ugly as beautiful depends on the power of interpretation of art. However, ugliness as well as beauty exists in life and it has close connections with people. The wars, conflicts, poverty, violence, anger, and haters are wrapping around us in everyday life and are a reflection of the ugly. These concepts that exist in life are natural themes of art field. This research, which will be carried out in the light of Umberto Eco's masterpiece 'History of Ugly History', will include a comprehensive literature search. This work aims to shed light on how the representation of the ugly in the face of the common belief, known as a beautiful quest of art.
