The artists of the 1914 Generation, also known as Turkish Impressionists, witnessed the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire as well as the Second Constitutional Era when urge for Westernization was revitalized. That made them the harbingers of the young Republic of Turkey. Ibrahim Çalli, whose name became the nickname of this generation due to his popularity; Hikmet Onat, Hüseyin Avni Lifij, Feyhaman Duran, Namık Ismail, Mehmet Ruhi Arel and Sami Yetik, quite different from the preceding generation of painters, contributed to the art of painting by diversifying themes and pioneered for the promulgation of this.
