Milli Reasürans Art Gallery exhibits 100 drawings from post 1945 important Turkish painters: Fikret Mualla, Abidin Dino, Aliye Berger, Saim Özeren, Ergin İnan, Adnan Varınca, Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu, Kuzgun Acar and the poet İlhan Berk.

The saying ' The sketch is the painting's chastity' is surely true because it is not possible to play with a sketch. A sketch, especially nature oriented, manifests itself with its vigor in perceiving its subject.

The sketches of Fikret Mualla, which he realised while in treatment in St. Anne Hospital have a very special place in this exhibition.

Saim Özeren (1900-1964), an artist who remained out of the range of figurative Turkish Painting proves his mastership with sketches he made between 1930-1964 which have never been shown before to the public.

The lavis of Abidin Dino (1913-1993) are accompanying the sketches in this exhibition. The rich tones of black are like a complete substitute to color and show one more time that black is indeed a color.

Aliye Berger's (1903-1974) metal engravings are like strokes of her own life story.

The black and white engravings of Garache, a member of Paris School, are shown together with the nudes of poet Ilhan Berk. The nudes of Ergin Inan show mysticism rather than nudity.

One hundred black and white paintings came together so as to praise these two colors.
