Burhan Uygur: Passion of an Artist (2007)
Synopsis
Burhan Uygur, the great master of modern Turkish painting, who passed away at the age of fifty-two, has left us a story as surprising, controversial, humorous, and heartbreaking as his paintings. We piece together this story with his family and friends. In their narratives, Burhan comes alive again—the rebellious young man, the bohemian painter, the family man, the man who mastered the color white. As we follow the story from Tekirdağ to Ayvalık, surprises await us. Life and painting are two sides of the same coin for Burhan. Or, as he himself put it, “My paintings give me life, and I give my life to my paintings.” —Sibel Bilgin 26th International Istanbul Film Festival, National Documentary Film Competition. 2007
