Eren Eyüboğlu (née Ernestine Leibovici;[1] 1913–1988)[2][3] was a Romanian-born Turkish painter, ceramicist, and mosaic artist.[4] She is considered one of the forerunners of modernism in Turkey.[5]

Biography

[edit]

Ernestine Leibovici was born on 5 February 1913 in Iași, Romania. She attended George Enescu National University of Arts (formerly Academy of Fine Arts Lași), where she graduated in 1928.[4] From 1930 to 1932, she continued her education at Andre Lhote's studio (also known as Academy André Lhote) in Paris and Académie Julian.[4][6] In 1933, she studied art in Istanbul.[4]

In 1933, she married artist Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu, whom she met at Andre Lhote's studio.[4][7] When she married, Ernestine adopted the Turkish name “Eren”.[1] Bedri would go on to have an affair with artist Mari Gerekmezyan in the 1940s, which put a strain on their marriage.[8]

Eyüboğlu worked in many different mediums, including ceramic, charcoal, oil, watercolor, and gouache.[9] She took part in D Group exhibitions starting in 1936, as well as the Edinburgh Art Festival in 1957, and the Hamburg Turkish Women Painters Exhibition in 1958.[10] In 1941, she had her first solo exhibition.[10]

Death and legacy

[edit]

She died on 30 August 1988 in Kalamış, Turkey.[11] Her work is in museum collections, including at Grey Art Gallery, and Istanbul Museum of Modern Art.[12][1]

In 2020, her work was part of the exhibition, “Modernisms: Iranian, Turkish and Indian Highlights from NYU’s Abby Grey Collection” at the Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University.[13]
