TURKEY
|
Because of the mix of Eastern and Western culture as a bridge between, Turkish art is specialized in different branches of art. Drawing a portrait was forbidden until 16th Century and it forced artists to use only floral and geometrical motifs. These motifs were applied as a painting, carving, weaving, inlaying, filigreeing or embroidering. But there are other branches that are less known such as book binding, jewel crafting, copper-making, calligraphy and Ebru (marbling). During your tours, you will visit, also try if you want to do some of them; but if you have special interest to any of them, we can make your own Turkish Art tour about the branch you are interested in. |
