Nurullah Berk (March 22, 1906 – January 9, 1982) was a Turkish painter, writer and an academician who pioneered cubism and constructivism in Turkey.
[1][2] After finishing Galatasaray High School he attended Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi, today Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, where he studied under Hikmet Onat and İbrahim Çallı.
