Item description from seller

The catalogue of the sumptuous exhibition, with essays by Ömer Faruk Serifoglu Zafer Toprak, Ahmet Kamil Gören, Ferit Edgü and Nazan Ölçer. Avni Lifij was an important Turkish artist little known outside the world of connoisseurs of the Ottoman impressionists. These were the artists who were sent to France to study studio painting. They became latter day impressionists. Many returned when war broke out in 1914 and were effectively the founding generation of Turkish 20th-century painting. Their love of the Bosphorus and views of late Ottoman Istanbul are one of their most compelling facets. Avni Lifij died in Istanbul in 1927, but his birthday is hotly disputed, and no one knows today for sure whether he was in his teens or 30 something when he was discovered as a fully fledged portraitist by Osman Hamdi Bey and (retrospectively) enlisted at the imperial artist school. Hamdi Bey told him actually attending the school would be a waste of his time as there was nothing he could learn there, but it allowed him to be selected for a scholarship to Paris (following in the master s footsteps). The name Lifij is Circassian for of light complexion he later tried to adopt the Turkish Aktan, which means the same thing, as a surname, but as Ömer Serifoglu, author of an authoritative essay in the catalogue, tells us, it didn't have the same ring!) Many of the works in the show, both landscapes and portraits, belong to his descendants and have therefore never been seen before. An extraordinary revelation is the discovery of glass negatives that Lifij took and often used for his paintings. Powerful images in their own right.
