Emily Neumeier University of Pennsylvania The Liberation of Manisa (ca. 1960) by Cemal Tollu serves as a case study for investigating the attitudes towards citing and assimilating European painting in Turkey's art historical discourse. Tollu's painting commemorates an event that took place during the Turkish War of Independence, yet it also makes visual references to works with their own history and geography, particularly the landscapes of Paul Cézanne and Eugène Delacroix's Massacres of Chios.
