Dogancay's expansive practice mixed collage with abstraction, deploying painting, photojournalism, and the calligraphic in an enormous oeuvre that includes graphic art, sculpture, paintings, and photographs. He is best known for his fascination with urban walls as tableaux suggesting an imaginary history, recording the passage of time through the marks left by the elements and by anonymous city-dwellers. In 1955, after a period spent making artwork in a naturalist vein, Dogancay left France for Ankara to serve in Turkey's Ministry of Commerce. But it was living as a diplomat in New York in the early 1960s that would spark the transformation of Dogancay's artistic practice. Specifically, while walking on 86th Street in 1963, Dogancay encountered what he called 'the most beautiful abstract painting I have ever seen.' In fact, it was a wall with the remains of a poster, a constellation of broken patterns that Dogancay immediately sketched (and later reworked into a painting). In 1964, he gave up his diplomatic career in order to dedicate himself to an art that often used the urban wall as a means of exploring the visual experience of texture, place, and memory. He also adopted a mode of photojournalistic social commentary in his photographs of cities all over the world. In this book, issued at the same time as the opening of the Dogancay Museum in Istanbul, the artist's extensive body of work on paper is thoroughly investigated. In five sections the works are separated into drawing, watercolour, fumage, collage and mixed media. 9781555952266.…
