چکیده

Art in any culture reflects the cultural tastes of the people of that culture. Artistic taste is also the link between some artistic products and its consumption in a regionalized space (whether geographical, ethnic and tribal, cultural, etc). The theoretical framework of the research is based on the theory of sociology of art of Pierre Bourdieu in measuring and analyzing the cultural tastes of art. And Kumaraswamy theory (traditional art and modern art) is also formulated. The method of this research is sampling and the method of sampling is simple random. The sample size was selected based on Cochran's formula of 384 people. Our statistical population also includes young people aged 15-25 in Gilane Gharb. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test, analysis of variance and regression. The research results indicate that: The highest tendency towards cultural tastes of art was related to the variable of traditional art, which about half of the population studied have a strong tendency towards traditional art. Also, the most important social factor influencing the art of interest was gaining pleasure and then the economic factor. Furthermore, in terms of having the amount of cultural capital and social capital, most respondents have lower to moderate cultural and social capital, which has a positive and direct effect on artistic tastes. Also, most respondents have little or no economic capital, which has a positive and direct effect on artistic tastes. Finally, the variable of cultural tastes of art indicates a low and moderate taste of the sample, which is due to the low level of cultural, social and economic capital.
