Portrait of a man who fled Nazi-Germany in 1934 to start a new life in Istanbul, where he became a legendary teacher: Traugott Fuchs, who suffered from severe depression all of his life, left behind a unique and excessive legacy. Hundreds of paintings, thousands of drawings, poetry, diaries and an extensive collection of letters – among them several from world-class poet and author Hermann Hesse – were found in his apartment after he was hospitalized before his death. Almost ending up in the trash, they were saved by close friends and finally shed light on a fascinating man who also tried to embrace his gay identity.
The crew will attend.
Selected from the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Photography Collection, we present the landscapes and places in Istanbul photographs, dating from the 1850s to the 1980s, together with their present-day views!
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
