about Namik Ismail

Namık İsmail was born in Samsun in 1890 as an intermediary of three children of a Circassian family who migrated from the Caucasus to Samsun and then to Istanbul. The three siblings are interested in art since the young age, perhaps because their father is a calligrapher.

In some sources, the name of the artist is Yeğenoğlu, and in some sources it is referred to as Sebük. Yeğenoğlu surname originates from Yeğenzade, the artist's family nickname. Sebük ​​is the surname that the artist has taken with the surname law. But the artist did not use both, his paintings signed as Namık İsmail. The three siblings may be interested in art, starting from a small age, perhaps because their father is a calligrapher. His brother, Hüsnü Yeğenoğlu, is also a member of the artillery school, which he studied for three years. He then studied in Germany in 1907 for three years. Her sister Ulviye Yeğenoğlu Keskin goes to the conservatory, taking piano lessons and French lessons.
