THE RESTORATION OF PAINTING “NUDE” BY SAİP TUNA FOUND IN COLLECTION OF THE ANKARA STATE MUSEUM OF PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURES

Abstract

Oil painting conservation is a conservation field which is considerably sensitive and requires different fields of specialization from storage to exhibition, from transportation to packaging, from cleaning to retouching. In our country, the fewness of specialists and insufficiency of researches and publications in this field is noticeable and it is observed that the few works that are conducted are not based on scientific foundations. In our museums, many artworks which were subject to false applications by non-specialists or which were harmed because they were not kept in appropriate conditions are encountered. One of these artworks is the oil painting titled “Nu” by one of the important Republican artists, Saip Tuna (1904-1974) found in the storage room of Ankara State Museum of Paintings and Sculptures. In this study, examination and documentation procedures along with conservation and restoration methods carried out with scientific methods on this painting are discussed.

Within this scope, the painting in question was examined by non-destructive (visual and microscopic) methods, the deteriorations and previous restorations in the constituting layers of the painting were detected with the help of inclined light, illumination from behind and ultraviolet light. It was observed that the previous restoration treatments made by using materials/methods, such as an intense varnishing application and a faulty retouching, which are not suitable for the original structure of the artwork along with the problems arising from the unfavourable storing conditions had caused deteriorations/damages on the artwork. Restoration works of the painting were carried out according to the detected deteriorations and damages. The data obtained through this work exhibit the importance of the field specialization in the success of conservation and restoration applications as much as the necessity of detection and diagnosis based on scientific research and examination.
