About this Item
Nurullah Berk
Turkish 1906-1982
Man at the Window
signed and dated 59
oil on canvas
45 by 37cm excluding frame
Notes
After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Istanbul, Berk relocated to Paris in the 1930s where he studied under André Lhote and Fernand Léger, as did Erik Laubscher from 1950 to 1951. Interesting comparisons can be drawn between the influence of Léger on their developing styles that utilised strong, dark outlines and flat areas of bright colour.
