“Where are the Women in the Writing of Art History?”

Prof. Tomur Atagök

Any attempt at writing a comprehensive history of modern art in Turkey, would require the telling of stories, either through figure, or landscape, or women. Just like modernization having several symbols, the history of plastic arts in Turkey also advanced through symbols. First in the texts written by Nurullah Berk, and later, as the market was gradually formed, in the texts consisting of reiterations of Berk’s discourse, these symbols were ignored; positioning oneself where one desires to be, close to the art movements that one favour was preferred. Since one of the symbols of modernization was the woman, the framework of this seminar will focus on how and under what conditions this “symbol” was ignored in the writing of art history.
