Muhittin Sebati

Muhittin Sebati (1901, Amasya - 1932, Istanbul) was a Turkish Post-Impressionist painter and sculptor.

After attending one of the Galatasaray exhibitions, he developed an interest in art and eventually enrolled at the "Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi" (School of Fine Arts),[1] where his instructors were Hikmet Onat [tr] and İbrahim Çallı.

That same year, he began teaching at the Ankara Boys' High School[1] (apparently an obligation for receiving the scholarship) and participated in the "Birinci Genç Ressamlar Sergisi" (First exhibition of young artists) at the Ethnography Museum of Ankara in 1929.

Later that year, he returned to Istanbul and became one of the founders of the "Independent Painters and Sculptors Association" and was elected its first president.

He had an especially successful showing at an exhibition held by the "Türk Ocakları" (Turkish Hearths).
