Turkish Painting: In the Pursuit of Modernism follows the development of painting from its adoption as a genre in the newly Westernising Ottoman Empire to the first artists of the Republic, who aimed to create an intellectual foundation for their art. The exhibition presents works from the Sakıp Sabancı Museum Painting Collection in chronological order and renders visible moments of interaction and transformation between different generations.
