In memory of my Turkish great-grandfather Cemalettin, officer of the Ottoman imperial army.

First picture taken in 1915 on the Palestinian front where Ottoman troops were facing the British army (Sitting in the middle surrounded by two of his soldiers)

Second picture taken in 1917 in the British prison/camp of Egypt. He is seen sitting in the middle next to his brother Mehmet on the right who is reading the French newspaper « La Bourse ». His brother died during the detention.

These pictures were taken with my grandfather’s Voigtländer camera (third picture).

My grandfather fought on the Palestine front when he was captured by the British army with his troops and sent to a prison/camp located in Egypt for 2 years. He was then transferred, like most of the Ottoman officers, to India by boat where he stayed few months before being freed. He managed to come back to Turkey by foot after the end of the war.

During the transfer to Egypt, my grandfather wrote in his diary: "... we were abandoned, my soldiers were broken by cholera, the British army who followed us, came and captured us; We walked towards Egypt, the Palestinians threw us stones, s**t, they spitted at us all the way! »

For memory, the Ottoman Empire entered the First World War in 1914 on the side of the Central Powers (including Germany and the Austria-Hungary empire)

On June 5th, 1916, the Arabs, citizens of the Ottoman Empire for the last 400 years betrayed the Empire and launched their revolt against the Ottoman troops. The British promised financial and military support of a revolt and the recognition of an independent Arab state after the war. We all know how it ended...

The Allies hoped that an Arab revolt would divert enemy resources and disrupt an alarming pattern of Ottoman victories, such as their triumph at the Battle of Gallipoli (February 1915-January 1916) and their successful siege of British troops in the city of K*t, 160 kilometres south of Baghdad (December 1915-April 1916), which it did eventually.

The rest is history.

TONIGHT ⚜️

Back in 1969, in the yalı/mansion Gabiyev in Arnavutköy, Istanbul.

My father, the renowned artist painter UTKU VARLIK together with fellow artists and friends Alaeddin Aksoy and Mehmet Güleryüz .

Gabiyef'ler yalısı-Arnavutköy / Alaeddin Aksoy, Mehmet Güleryüz, Utku Varlık / askerliği unuttuk ve Avrupa konkuruna gireceğiz, Mehmet'le ben!

UTKU VARLIK

Blog: https://utkuvarlik.blogspot.com/?m=0

Utku Varlık started his art career in the painting department of The Academy of Fine Arts of Istanbul. He was trained in the workshops of Bedri Rahmi Eybüoğlu and Sabri Berkel during 1961 - 1966.

Afterwards, he continued his education in engraving and lithography workshops. He moved to Paris in 1970 to study at l’Académie des Beaux-arts. He then studied lithography in Cachan Workshop between 1971-1974. Today, he continues his art work in Paris.

During the first years of his work, the artist predominantly shaped his figures by expressionism. To be specific, the political situation of 1960s and 1970s influenced him to draw expressionist paintings. After 1975, the artist directed himself towards an imaginative expressive style. He perceives the "figure" as an indispensable element of nature. According to him, reflections of figures can be seen in nature.

His Paintings Can Be Found in Various Collections Such As:

• Istanbul and Ankara Fine Arts Gallery
• İş Bank
• Central Bank, Ankara
• Yahşi Baraz Private Collection

Tribute to my beautiful French grandparents from my mother’s side to whom I owe so much in life.

Henri Geraud BRUEL born in 1912 (left) and Ernestine Denise LABORIE born in 1917 (right) got married in 1939 in the village of Mur-de-Barrez in Aveyron (Departement 12 / France).

Both were from rural agriculture backgrounds, their families running large farms in Aveyron.

They moved to Paris after the end of the 2nd World War and became entrepreneurs. They managed to own some cafés and restaurants in Paris 15th and 7th district and finished their lives very wealthy. They passed away in 2001 and 2014.

- - -

A bit of history:

Both were born in the small village of Lacroix-Barrez, next to Mur-de-Barrez.

In the heart of Aveyron, in Occitania, nestles the small village of Mur-de-Barrez. It takes its name from an old enclosure wall that once encircled it.

Small town in the Merovingian period, Mur-de-Barrez has a castle and a fortress since the eleventh century. The village got invaded and occupied twice (in 1373 and in 1418) by the English during the 100 years old war between the kingdoms of France and England.

In the middle of the seventeenth century, the village became the stronghold of the Grimaldi, monarchs of Monaco, following the treaty of Péronne by Louis XIII. The latter regained French sovereignty shortly after the French Revolution.
