Eren Eyüboğlu

Eren Eyüboğlu (1913-1988)

She was born in Romania in 1913, she completed her education there and graduated from the Art Academy of Yaş in 1928. She studied at the Andre Lhote Studio in Paris between 1930 and 1932 and held two exhibitions there. She returned to Romania in 1933, married B. Rahmi Eyüboğlu in 1936 and continued her art studies in Istanbul. She demonstrated her artistic prowess in Türkiye and abroad by holding more than 20 exhibitions in England, Germany, Belgium and the USA (New York, Berkeley, New Jersey), as well as in Ankara and Istanbul. Eren Eyüboğlu, who was an admirer of such artists as Cezanne and Matisse, originally adopted an impressionist approach, although she later moved to a more contemporary approach, and like her husband she attached more importance to colour.

The artist died in 1988. Many of her most important works can be seen at the State Painting and Sculpture Museum, and in private and state collections.
