THE WORLDWIDE FAMOUS PAINTERS

DOLMABAHÇE,
1933
Namık İsmail has not been around a
certain artistic understanding and
technique throughout his art life, but
tried different styles. Having a strong
pattern, Namık İsmail is an
impressionist landscape painter as
well as a realist figure painter with his
masterful brush strokes and solid lines.
We can divide Namık İsmail's art into
two periods. In his paintings of the first
period, the return of Paris (1914), we
see that emotion is dominant and
technique is secondary. Poetry and
imagination are dominant in the
buildings of this period. The artist's
return to Germany (1919) is his
second period. After meeting with
German culture, technique comes to
the fore.
