Zühtü Müridoğlu (26 January 1906 – 21 August 1992) was a Turkish sculptor and one of the first sculptors of the Republican generation.[1]
He attended the
Academy, and started to teach in his own atelier. In 1955, he opened the Ağaç Uygulama Atölyesi, and became a professor in 1969. In 1971, he retired, however, continued to participate for a long time. Later, he won the Sedat Simavi Vakfı award in 1977, and Atatürk Sanat Armağanı Award in 1981.[2]
He opened his first personal exhibition in 1932, which focused on monument design. After 1953, he moved more in the abstract direction. He used many materials collected from nature, such as tree branches. After 1975, he returned to his original style.[2]
Müridoğlu was among the contributors of the cultural magazine Yeni Adam.[3]
