1927Very Good Turkish Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 15 cm). In Turkish. 35 p., 32 b/w plates. Foxing on the cover. Otherwise a good copy. Nazmi Ziya Güran, (1881-1937), was a Turkish Impressionist painter and art teacher. He was born in Istanbul. He did manage to obtain some private tutoring from Hoca Ali Riza then, following his father's death in 1902, he quietly enrolled at the Academy. He studied with the Italian Orientalist painter, Salvatore Valeri and the sculptor Osgan Efendi, but had some difficulty adapting to the school's conservative teaching methods and came into conflict with Osman Hamdi Bey, the Director. A meeting with the French painter Paul Signac, who visited Istanbul while sailing around the Mediterranean, may have influenced his desired style. The conflicts continued and, in 1907, when he submitted his final exam pictures, he found his graduation delayed by a year. Bedri Rahmi Eyuboglu was a Turkish painter and poet. His first one-man show was in Bucarest at the Hasefer Gallery in 1935. The exhibition was organized by his future wife Ernestine. They were married in Istanbul in 1936. Bedri Rahmi was a very prolific artist; he painted frescoes at the "Lido restaurant" in Istanbul (1943), a large panel at the Ankara Opera House (1946). First and Only Edition. OCLC 909450866.

2010New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (32 x 24 cm). Ills. In Turkish and English. 384 p. It is generally recognized that Greek painters from Istanbul contributed to a great extent to Ottoman and Turkish culture, beginning during the Byzantine era. Even after the end of the Byzantine era, however, Greek artists continued to play an active role in the development of art in Istanbul. Undeniably, one of the results of the Greeks having had to leave Turkey for political reasons has been the removal of an important treasure of art and culture from Istanbul. The beauty and splendor of Istanbul and the recurrent themes of migration and longing, are characteristic of the works of numerous Greek artists who left Istanbul at an early age and who developed or continued their artistic work in Greece or in various European countries. This book contains the biographies and more than five hundred works of nearly two hundred Greek artists of Istanbul.
2015New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In english and Turkish. 239, [5] p., color ills. 'Painter and Painting: A Mehmet Güleryüz Retrospective' presents an inventory of Güleryüz's oeuvre from the 1960s to the 2010s. The exhibition sheds light on the development and transformation of the artist's generous quest for expression, which ranges from painting, drawing, sculpture, and engraving to theater and performance. With his critical and expressionist style, Mehmet Güleryüz has earned himself a special and privileged place in the art scene in Turkey over half a century. His art centers on people and the sociopolitical conditions surrounding them. The artist, who was born in 1938, uses a critical and ironic language to express, through his figurative works, the effects of Turkey's sociocultural and political transformation on people. Love of family, male-female relationships, nature and living beings, and all the processes that influence oral and visual culture are manifested in his paintings as human acts. Güleryüz produces art through an approach that invites its viewers to take a stance, just like he does, and confront the processes they have experienced. Güleryüz studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts in the 1960s and made a mark in the Paris art environment in the 1970s with his happenings. From the 1980s on, he played an active part in the transformation of the art scene in Turkey. Güleryüz's art shows an unusual development, manifesting how an artist can generate his very own individual style. Güleryüz is also an active theater actor who performs on stage. The intimate connection he has established between theater and the visual arts is one of the most interesting examples of his interdisciplinary approach in art. Güleryüz's art is part of a social process: it is based on everyday perceptions and familiar and established feelings. Therefore, each work references the history of its own time. For nearly 60 years, Güleryüz's art has been charting its own course, becoming enriched and developing in the process. In terms of line and drawing, Mehmet Güleryüz has a unique character and style. For him, drawing is not simply an infrastructural element of painting, it is an artistic language in its own right. Drawing is to him a being that is as close to him as holding on to life, breathing, and celebrating one's existence. Mehmet Güleryüz has also produced countless works on the reflections of his drawings and paintings in the physical, three-dimensional world. Since the 1970s, he has produced important research on and examples of sculpture. Based on the human being's relationship with sculpture, he has followed the traces of his figures in the three-dimensional world.

1985Fine Fine English Original bdg. Dust wrapper 4to. (28 x 20 cm). In English and Turkish. [viii], 351, [9] p., b/w and color ills. The Ottoman palace women (Women in Turkey).= Osmanli saray kadinlari (Türkiye'de kadin). Ottoman palace women is the third volume of study entitled Women in Turkey, and is a detailed and documentational account of how women of many races, faiths and creeds entered palace service, and of their lifestyles from the humblest to those who attained the coveted position of favourite of wife to the sultan. It was impossible for anyone but the members of the sultan's own household to see and describe the harem of the Ottoman palace. That is why, with rare exceptions, the portrayals of palace officials, female slaves, odalisques, favourites, wives and sultan mothers by foreign artists who visited Istanbul at various times are mere figments of the imagination and as such are interesting testimony to the power of imagination and artistic ability of European painters...".

2019New English Paperback. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 219, [5] p., color and b/w ills. Canan Tolon. You tell me.= Sen söyle. Curated by Levent Çalikoglu. Edited by N. Can Kantarci. September 2019 - February 2020. [Exhibition catalogue]. The exhibition "You Tell Me" organized by Istanbul Modern is a cross section of Canan Tolon s artistic practice which spans from the 1980s to today. "You Tell Me" aims to bring Tolon s unique expressive and technical pursuit into view through her works, which range from drawings to photographs and paintings to installations. While bringing together notable examples of the transformations and developments in Tolon s artistic practice, the exhibition also presents re-creations of some of her works that have already secured their place in the history of art. Canan Tolon s artistic practice centers on nature's continual renewal and on architecture as a cultural enterprise. Tolon designs an intellectual and visual world around the resistance between nature and architecture, and the contradiction and consequences borne out of their encounter. Her experimental works always remind one of the border between life and death, as she makes the viewers question whether these images are real or illusion, photographs or paintings. Incorporating natural materials such as grass seed and water in her paintings, Tolon lets nature come to life by setting metal pieces on her canvases and leaving these outside as a means to let weather transform them. For Tolon, traces of time become an important starting point for the development of her paintings. The architectural sections that show vast, endless and abandoned geographies in her compositions remind one of the struggle of humans against nature and the processes of destruction, construction and reconstruction. In these paintings where every little detail is constructed with paint, Tolon depicts the human processes of transforming and reforming nature, and the chaos, conflict and uncertainty caused by these processes in a distressful atmosphere. Without a doubt, Canan Tolon is one of the most original and creative artists of her generation in terms of the richness of the variety of her areas of research and her intellectual breadth. Tolon s works in this exhibition provide us with the opportunity to rethink nature and environment as well as architecture and culture, which impact both the artist and the rest of humanity today.
2015New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 315, [5] p., color and b/w ills. Artists in their time.= Sanatçi ve zamani. [Exhibition catalogue]. Edited by N. Can Kantarci. Prep. by Levent Çalikoglu. Istanbul Modern's collection exhibition, "Artists in Their Time", focuses on how artists position their work and themselves within the concept of time. It suggests a conceptual field for examining, and reconciling, the links between an artist's time and societal, cultural, natural and universal time. It unites artists from very different periods, geographies and disciplines around common themes. "Artists in Their Time" takes as its starting point the words of Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar (1901-1962), one of Turkey's foremost intellectual and literary figures: "I am neither within time nor completely outside of it." Tanpinar's views about time illuminate the process by which artists come to terms with the relationship of their work with the past, the present and the future. Accordingly, this exhibition groups together works of art from distinct geographies, periods and disciplines that share the same emotions with respect to a variety of themes: the intersecting responses of abstract art from different periods; the role of materials and studios in the production of art; the transformation from landscapes and still lifes to the present conception of nature; the search for identity; attraction to the Higher and the spiritual; existential questioning; body politics; feminist approaches; the complex problems imposed by the new urban culture; the struggle against war, death and destruction; life stories from Istanbul, a metropolis defined by water and embracing the sea; and efforts to understand the people of Anatolia.

"Guests: Artists and Craftspeople" features the works of 10 international artists who have been inspired by the crafts of Istanbul. From Baku to London, Mexico City to Copenhagen: Participating artists focus on the themes of craft and tradition in their production processes or work with different materials and techniques.
