Fikret Mualla - ''Deux femmes''
A Fresh Tribute To Fikret Mualla: Every artist who sees the human figure as the main theme of his art (As Fikret Mualla did) either works from memory or from the model in front of him; some, like Giacometti, were unable to move a brush or spatula without a live model to look at, while others like Picasso could, in the blinking of an eye, take in an image of the model in front of them and retrieve it years later at will, to decipt in whatever form they fancied. Fikret Mualla was somehow a combination of the two, though nearer to the latter type, to Picasso.
