The '''D Grubu''' (English: ''Group D'') is an artist collective founded in Istanbul, Turkey in 1933 by five painters ([Zeki Faik İzer](/source/Zeki_Faik_%C4%B0zer), [Nurullah Berk](/source/Nurullah_Berk), [Elif Naci](/source/Elif_Naci), [Cemal Tollu](/source/Cemal_Tollu), [Abidin Dino](/source/Abidin_Dino)) and one sculptor ([Zühtü Müridoğlu](/source/Z%C3%BCht%C3%BC_M%C3%BCrido%C4%9Flu)).<ref>{{cite web | title = D Grubu | url = http://www.milliyetsanat.com/haberler/sanat-terimi/d-grubu/177 | publisher = Milliyet Sanat | accessdate = 19 December 2016 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20161222130727/http://www.milliyetsanat.com/haberler/sanat-terimi/d-grubu/177 | archivedate = 22 December 2016}}</ref> The group is considered Turkey's first contemporary art movement.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cermodern.org/d-grubu.html |title=d Grubu...yeniden |last= |first= |date= |website=cermodern.org |publisher=[Cer Modern](/source/Ankara) |access-date=21 April 2018 |quote=}}</ref>

==1930's==

The group is the fourth fine arts collective established in Turkey after the [Ottoman Painters Society](/source/Ottoman_Painters_Society) ({{langx|tr|Osmanlı Ressamlar Cemiyeti}}), [Fine Arts Union](/source/Fine_Arts_Union) (''Güzel Sanatlar Birliği''/''Sanayi Nefise Birliği''), and [Independent Painters and Sculptors Association](/source/Independent_Painters_and_Sculptors_Association) (''Müstakil Ressamlar ve Heykeltıraşlar Birliği''). Getting the idea from this, [Nurullah Berk](/source/Nurullah_Berk) recommended that they call themselves after the fourth letter of the alphabet, "D".

Artist [Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu](/source/Bedri_Rahmi_Ey%C3%BCbo%C4%9Flu) and his wife [Eren Eyüboğlu](/source/Eren_Ey%C3%BCbo%C4%9Flu) participated D Grubu art exhibitions starting in 1936.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |date=2018-12-11 |title=Eren Eyüboğlu Hayatı ve Eserleri (1913 - 1988) |url=https://www.istanbulsanatevi.com/turk-ressamlar/eren-eyuboglu-hayati-ve-eserleri/ |access-date=2022-07-31 |website=İstanbul Sanat Evi |language=tr}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=A Selection from the Collection, Eren Eyüboğlu, 1907-1988 |url=https://www.istanbulmodern.org/en/collection/collection/5?t=3&id=1432 |access-date=2022-07-31 |website=İstanbul Modern |archive-date=31 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220731053653/https://www.istanbulmodern.org/en/collection/collection/5?t=3&id=1432 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

From an artistic perspective, their aims were to reject [Impressionism](/source/Impressionism), and inspired by [Cubist](/source/Cubism) and [Constructivist](/source/Constructivism_(art)) to establish a strong basis for patterns.
