Introduction:
The history of the postmodern movement can be traced back to the 1960s as a reaction to the school of modernism. Through that movement, many thinkers developed the core of the postmodern school of thought by proposing their own ideas. The first and most influential of them is the Frenchman Jean-François Lyotard, the founder of French postmodern thought. Attention to human social-cultural life in the postmodern situation constitutes the hallmark and characteristic of Lyotard's postmodern intellectual style. Accordingly, the opinions presented by this thinker are classified as socio-cultural opinions. This article aims to prove, through rigorous studies, that the foundation of the components of progressive and contemporary postmodern art is rooted in the most prominent aspects of Lyotard's cultural and social theories. The fundamental question in this context is what is the quality of the influence of progressive postmodern art on Lyotard's postmodern thoughts?
 Materials & Methods:
The present article obtains appropriate scientific data through library study and, using an analytical-comparative method, adapts the most prominent components of progressive and contemporary postmodern art to Lyotard's ideas. In order to achieve this goal, this research, while thoroughly studying the most prominent components of progressive and contemporary postmodern art, explores the relationship between those theoretical and applied components and Lyotard's theoretical cultural and social aspects. Finally, by comparing those aspects and components, it explains the extent and quality of the influence of the theoretical-applied indicators of progressive postmodern art on the postmodern cultural-social views of that thinker. The present article obtains its data on Lyotard's postmodern socio-cultural theoretical views through a library study of the book The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge. On the other hand, in the data analysis section, the article has studied a suitable analysis of the quality of the most prominent theoretical components of postmodern art, which have close theoretical overlap with Lyotard's socio-cultural theoretical aspects. Finally, in order to achieve its goal, the article will adapt the results of data analysis in the final section - discussion and conclusion - and explain the role of these aspects in the components of progressive postmodern art. Therefore, the method and study approach of the article will be citation-inference and the data analysis method will be analytical-adaptive.
 Discussion & Result:
In deep theoretical scrutiny, it is clear that Lyotard's socio-cultural theoretical aspects correspond to the most prominent artistic-performance components of progressive and contemporary postmodern art. This overlap is significant and contains the answer to the main question of the article. In clear terms, progressive and contemporary postmodern art has established special components in order to fulfill its mission, and the most prominent of those components have gained their true articulation with the support of the postmodern views of the founders of this school of thought - especially Lyotard. This is considered one of the important results and findings of the research. An inferential adaptation of the research findings reveals the influence of Lyotard's socio-cultural views on the components of progressive and contemporary postmodern art;

A) Special components in progressive and contemporary postmodern art:

1- Rejection of individualism
2 - Art and metanarratives
3 - Deconstruction
4 - Subversion and aesthetics
5 - Reality and Truth
6 - The art and play of language
7 - Reality and Perception
8 - Interaction and Culture
9 - Awareness and awareness-raising
10 - Multiple realities

B) Fundamental Aspects of Lyotard's Socio-Cultural Thoughts:

1 - Consensus and Legitimization
2 - Rejection of metanarrativeism
3 - Need to change
4 - Subversion
5 - Rejection of modernist relations
6 - A new language game
7 - Perception in a new situation and perception of the new situation
8 - Postmodern socio-cultural relations
9 - Truth, awareness and awareness-raising
10 - Pluralism and pluralism
Conclusion:
The result of this research is of a qualitative-fundamental type and reveals that progressive and contemporary postmodern art is deeply and continues to be influenced by the philosophical worldview and socio-cultural theories of the postmodern school of thought - especially Lyotard's ideas. Consensus and legitimization, negation of metanarrative, need for change and subversion, negation of modernist relations, new language play, perception of the new situation, postmodern socio-cultural relations, consciousness and pluralism in postmodernity, are the fundamental aspects of Lyotard's socio-cultural theory, which have theoretical overlap with the most prominent artistic-performance components of progressive and contemporary postmodern art. This is one of the key findings of the study.
