Deniz and her friends who haven’t seen each other all summer have a lot to tell each other. The boys in the senior class have suddenly got tall, new albums have been released, natural gas was distributed to Balıkesir. As their parents are very busy working, Deniz and her friends are still confused about university preferences. Even though she gets close with Kaya, Deniz still has her counsellor Fırat in her mind. She wants to prove her friends that this isn’t “something common”. Deniz dreams of a life different from her friends and parents. A song nobody hears, a desperate love, loneliness… Ankara instead of Istanbul, social sciences instead of science… Another world but where?

From Cypresses to Turkish Landscapes

Among the most interesting themes in the oeuvre of Prassinos are cypresses, trees, and Turkish landscapes. The cypress woods in Üsküdar he saw every time he stepped out on the terrace of their house in İstanbul or the trees in Petits Champs must have been strong images of childhood for Prassinos.

The Search for Form

A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.
