Özet:

Since the past, social, cultural, industrial and technological developments in the individual/social process have been reflected in all areas of education and art. This change has contributed to the development of new techniques in the field of art by revealing the art productions made with new styles and materials. The original printing field is one of the areas most affected by these technical developments. The material-based application form and its open structure to experimental works stands in front of us as a very valuable form of production for artists. It is recognized that the history of printing in our country began in the 15th century with the beginning of paper production in Istanbul. After that, with the presence of the matbaan, the printing that often comes to us in the artistic sense has become a field in which very valuable artists in the history of Turkish Art with their original practices announce their name in the country and abroad. The French artist Leopold Levy, known for his identity as an artist and an academic in our country, came to Istanbul in 1936 as a guest of the Turkish State and was brought to the head of the painting department at the Academy of Fine Arts. The artist Levy, who has given our country gravure printing technique, has made a significant contribution to the training of Turkish painters and the organization of the Academy of Fine Arts with a new understanding. He also worked in the organization of the first Painting and Statue Museum in Turkey. This study will be focused on the art understanding, training and original gravure printing works of Leopold Levy, who has provided the education of many Turkish artists/students in our country and has added wealth to Turkish art and artist in many ways.
