Özet:

 After World War I, with the taboo-breaking impact of the Futurists, Cubists, and Expressionists, there was some uncertainty in the art world. Some Parisian artists in particular were looking for a regulative path and saw the works of the time in turmoil. In this sense, the Cubist artists of the Call to Order movement wanted to base Cubism on classical French painting, and their works were sometimes referred to as French Cubism This understanding of painting also shaped the perspectives of the artists who came to Paris from different parts of the world. Painter and art educator André Lhote, one of the movements founders and advocates, believed that the visual values created by a painters geographic location and cultural background could be effective as a classical understanding. With this understanding, he has trained hundreds of international students in his studio. Jalil Ziapour is from Iran, and numerous Turkish students, including Nurullah Berk, have visited his studio from Turkey and influenced their countrys art history upon their return. Among their fellow Turkish students, Nurullah Berk and Iranian artist Jalil Ziapour focused more on writing to promote modern art and cubism, also their role in art education was the reason why they were compared in this study. In addition, they tried to create a local understanding of painting and achieve an East-West synthesis by turning to the visual elements of their countries. This article uses examples to examine how André Lhotes thoughts and what he defines as classical are perceived by Jalil Ziapour and Nurullah Berk and how they are reflected in their ideas and art.

 Birinci Dünya Savaşından sonra, Fütürist, Kübist ve Dışavurumcuların tabu yıkan etkileriyle sanat dünyasında birtakım belirsizlikler oluşmuştur. Özellikle Paris merkezli bazı sanatçılar, bu dönemin eserlerinin kargaşa içinde olduğunu düşündüklerinden düzenleyici bir yol arayışına girmişlerdir. Bu yönde kübist sanatçılar, Düzene Çağrı hareketiyle, Kübizmi Klasik Fransız resmine temellendirmek istemişler, eserleri de zaman zaman Fransız Kübizmi olarak adlandırılmıştır. Bu resim anlayışı, dünyanın çeşitli yerlerinden Parise gelen sanatçıların bakış açılarını da şekillendirmiştir. Hareketin kurucusu ve savunucularından biri olan ressam ve sanat eğitimcisi André Lhote, bir ressamın büyüdüğü coğrafyanın, kültürel geçmişinin oluşturduğu görsel değerlerin Klasik bir kavrayış olarak etkin olabileceğine inanmıştır. Bu anlayışla atölyesinde yüzlerce uluslararası öğrenci yetiştirmiştir. Jalil Ziapour İrandan ve Nurullah Berk de dâhil olmak üzere önemli sayıda Türk öğrenci Türkiyeden onun stüdyosuna gitmiş ve döndükten sonra ülkelerinin sanat tarihini etkilemişlerdir. Lhotea giden Türk öğrencilerin arasında Nurullah Berkin İrandan ise Jalil Ziapourun gerek modern sanatı gerekse Kübizmi tanıtmak için daha fazla yazı yazmaya odaklanmaları ve sanat eğitimindeki rolleri bu araştırmada karşılaştırılmalarının temel sebebidir. Ayrıca ülkelerinin görsel unsurlarına yönelerek resimde yerel bir anlayış yaratmaya ve Doğu-Batı sentezi yakalamaya çalışmışlardır. Bu makalede, André Lhoteun düşüncesinin ve Klasik olarak tanımladıklarının Jalil Ziapour ve Nurullah Berk tarafından nasıl algılandığı, düşüncelerine ve sanatlarına nasıl yansıdığı örneklerle irdelenmiştir.
