  3. Mid-19th century to early 20th century • OsmanHamdiBey (1842–1910) • ŞekerAhmetPaşa (1841–1907) • HasanRıza (1857−1913) • HalilPaşa (1860–1939) • Hoca Ali Riza (1864–1939) • The very first painting lessons were scheduled at "Mühendishane-iBerri-iHumayun" (Military School of Engineering) in 1793 mostly for technical purposes. Artists who formed the 19th century art milieu were often from the military schools. Additionally, Christian and "Levantine" artists as well as foreign painters lived and contributed to the art milieu in Istanbul. Some Turkish artists of military background like OsmanHamdiBey, ŞekerAhmetPaşa, SüleymanSeyyid, HalilPaşa were educated in arts abroad. Others, such as HüseyinZekaiPaşa, Hoca Ali Riza, and AhmetZiyaAkbulut were educated within the country. • "Sanayi-iNefiseMektebi" (School of Fine Arts) was established with OsmanHamdi's attempts in 1883. A new era was beginning in painting with the return of the artists from the West. Human figure in the western sense was being established in Turkish painting especially with OsmanHamdiBey. Impressionism, among the contemporary trends, appeared later on with HalilPaşa. • The "Ottoman Painters' Society" was formed in 1909. The society started exhibitions in 1916 continuing till 1952 on a regular basis that would be remembered as "Galatasaray Exhibitions".

  4. The "1914 Generation" • NazmiZiyaGuran (1881–1937) • Contemporary trends that emphasize figure start to appear gradually in Turkey with the "1914 Generation". Figure and composition entered the Turkish painting for the first time in the western sense with this generation. "InasSanayi-iNefiseMektebi" (School of Fine Arts for Girls) was founded for young women in 1914. MihriMüşfikHanim, Omer Adil, Feyhaman Duran were the first instructors. • A studio was built with army support in Şişli, a district of Istanbul, with Arseven's attempt in 1917. Lifij's "Progress" and "War Allegory", Çallı's "Cannon Carrier", MehmetRuhi's "Stone Breakers" were the first examples of multi figured and large dimensional compositions realised prior to and following this period. Right after the Şişli Studio, the Vienna Exhibition was held in 1918, the first exhibition abroad.

  5. Müstakiller (The Independents) • The young Turkish artists sent to Europe in 1926 came back inspired by contemporary trends such as Fauvism, Cubism and even Expressionism, still very influential in Europe, and they took a stand against the "1914 Generation" members. The important goals of this new group were, though not very absolute, pictorial design structure and linear foundation rather than impressionist colorism. The activities of the group under the name of "Independent Painters and Sculptors' Association", expanded with the participation of new artists in 1929. The association's founders were painters • The question of how the new styles that Çelebi and Kocamemi formed, would fit into the realities of the country had been answered by TurgutZaim (1904–1974). Zaim had given an original meaning to the structure of figure. The style the artist developed opposing to the new and comprehensive content which artists brought, had become a choice western trends.

  6. "The Group D" • While the "Müstakiller" (the Independents) opened the doors of contemporary trends in Turkey, we see a newly founding group which would give a greater support to these efforts and of which their effectiveness lasted until the 1950s: "Group D". These artists introduced some trends that had lasted in the West for thirty, forty years. Group members were: • Abidin Dino (1913–1993) • The most significant distinction of "Group D" from the "Independents" was perhaps that they had gathered around a certain aesthetics with solidarity in determination to defend the new trends they wanted to bring in. "Group D" had not been representative of any particular view. They were open to anything new except Impressionism. The star of the Çallı generation faded away gradually after the "Independents" and "Group D" members had started to work at the Academy. • BedriRahmiEyuboğlu (1911–1975) • Besides all this progress, from the beginning there had also been independent artists. Among these • FikretMualla • can be counted.

  7. Later on • AdnanCoker (born 1927) • FahrunissaZeid (1901–1991) • BurhanDoğançay (1929-2013) • took place in this trend. • When we look at the formation that starts in the 1940s and materialized in the 1950s in Turkish painting, rather than particular groups or trends individual styles come forward while the existence of some groups could still be observed. • It can be said that during the 1940s, the notion that first came forward was originality, regionalism and nationalism.

  8. "YenilerGrubu" (The Newcomers Group) late 1930s • formed by those who had a social realist understanding. After they opening of their "Harbour Paintings Exhibition", they had been remembered as the "Harbour Painters". • AvniArbaş (1919–2003)

  9. "On'larGrubu" (The Group Ten) 1947 • formed by the students of BedriRahmi who started working basically by adding folkloric ornaments in their works and added a freshness to the art milieu

  10. "YeniDalGrubu" (The New Branch Group) 1959 • focusing on social reality.

  11. "SiyahKalemGrubu" (The Black Pen Group) 1961 • The SiyahKalemGrubu was centered around CemalBingöl's studio.
