Özet:

Turgut Zaim, known for his works in which he transferred the Anatolian people and their environment to canvas paintings with folkloric richness, has an important place in Contemporary Turkish painting. An artist who has successfully applied the Turkish style to his oil paintings, Zaim has endeavored to produce works actively in various fields of art. Although he uses Western techniques, the artist tries to focus on our own culture and art as well. Original print paintings are as valuable as oil paintings. Turgut Zaim took care to continue his printmaking works, which he started when he was a teacher in Sivas, in the following years. The original print works of the artist, who worked hard throughout his art life, are divided into various subjects. Although original print paintings are a continuation of canvas paintings, the artist also focused on different subjects than canvas paintings in his print works. In this context, Turgut Zaim's original print paintings have had an important and privileged position in our analysis by seeing the artist's style and techniques from a broad perspective.
