The following year, she became the only woman among the founding members of the Association of Independent Painters and Sculptors, a determining group for the introduction of post-impressionist and modern trends in Turkey. Installed permanently in Paris in 1932, she participated in the Salon des Tuileries and worked in a difficult material and health context. She died in 1938, at only thirty-three years old. Part of her work was dispersed or lost, but the preserved paintings are enough to show an artist who linked European modernity to a Turkish and deeply individual experience of portraiture. There selection "Hale Asaf" offers its own journey on this subject. His reading favors the story.
Hale Asaf constructs the face without enclosing it: the geometric planes give a framework to the color, while the gaze remains alive and vulnerable.
