| book description |

In this vivid portrait of the art world of 1950s Turkey, Sarah-Neel Smith offers a new framework for analyzing global modernisms of the twentieth century: economic development. After World War II, a cohort of influential Turkish modernists built a new art scene in Istanbul and Ankara. The entrepreneurial female gallerist Adalet Cimcoz, the art critic (and future prime minister) BÃ¼lent Ecevit, and artists like Aliye Berger, FÃ¼reya Koral, and Bedri Rahmi EyÃ¼boÄŸlu were not only focused on aesthetics. On the canvas, in criticism, and in the gallery, these cultural pioneers also grappled with economic questionsâ€”attempting to transform their country from a â€œdeveloping nationâ€ into a major player in the global markets of the postwar period. Smithâ€™s book publishes landmark works of Turkish modernism for the first time, along with an innovative array of sourcesâ€”from gossip columns to economic theoryâ€”to reveal the art world as a key site for the articulation of Turkish nationhood at midcentury.
