Afife Ecevit

Afife Ecevit (1908-1990)

She was born in Istanbul and graduated from Arnavutköy College. She improved her ability and interest in art with trips to France, and then contributed to many joint exhibitions especially organised by the state.

She held her first exhibition in 1967 in Istanbul (State Gallery). She became a member of the Fine Arts Association and Women Painters’ Assembly, giving her to those foundations’ joint exhibitions. Her paintings concentrate on landscape and still life, and reflect the Impressionist idea of colour and light.
