In this study, the works of painters were examined in terms of the relationship between the artist, the art receiver and the art work in the art of painting, and the reasons and justifications for the interaction in question were investigated. There have been many methods applied by the artists in order to effectively convey the subject and emotion to the receiver in the works. In order to reinforce the meaning, methods such as using theatrical expressions in figures, applying the color effect, positioning the elements on the picture plane are frequently used by the artists. In addition to the techniques that change in form, the content of the works can also be shaped by the environmental factors in which the artist lives. In the works of the artists, traces of the events they witnessed in the society they lived in show themselves in every period. In the study, it is aimed to examine the works of painters in terms of form and content by applying the investigative work analysis method. In the study, the works of Edward Hopper, Wilhelm Hammershoi, Diego Velazquez and Edouard Manet were examined and evaluations were made on the relationship between the receiver and the artist in the painting. The works of the painters, who showed themselves in different art movements, were evaluated in the context of a common effect within the framework of the artist, the work of art and the art buyer, and inferences were made on the works.
