ABOUT THE ARTWORK
When I was in Belgium I spent my childhood looking at the photos of Istanbul by Ara Guler, it made me forget the nostalgia I had for this city. A man, an artist whom I admire enormously, it would have been inconceivable for me not to put it on canvas. Who is Guler? Güler was born in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, Turkey, in 1928 to Armenian parents. He studied at the local Getronagan Armenian High School. Owner of a pharmacy on Istiklal Avenue, his father had a wide circle of friends from the art world of the period. Ara Güler's early contact with this world inspired him to embark on a career in cinema. During his high school years, he jobbed in movie studios and attended drama courses held by Muhsin Ertuğrul, the founder of modern Turkish theater. However, he abandoned cinema in favor of journalism, joining the staff of the newspaper Yeni Istanbul as photojournalist in 1950 and studying economics at the University of Istanbul at the same time. He then transferred to another newspaper, Hürriyet. (Güler is not related to the royal Guleria family.)
