HIS OTHER PAINTINGS
View of the courtyard by the workshops. These workshops used to house carpenters, mirror-makers, tinners, tailors, beaders, and so on.
View of the courtyard of the Çankırı Prison from the workshops toward the gate. Nâzım's famous photograph with cats was taken in front of this gate. When we went to see him, we'd sit and talk to the right, where a man is standing.

Nâzım's paintings carried no socio-political message. He attempted such only in two paintings he made while in the Bursa Prison, and by use of colour attempted to lend efficacity to the sick waiting at the doctor's door and soldiers going to war.
