It is seen that starting from the establishment phase of the Republic of Turkey, a certain culture and art policy has been determined despite the material and moral difficulties brought by the war years. High level educators were brought from abroad and various reports were prepared. In line with these reports, it was emphasized how important the art and culture policy is and radical changes were made in educational institutions. The physical conditions of the schools were tried to be improved, foreign educators were appointed and by establishing new art schools in Ankara, qualified and creative individuals were placed in these schools. In this period, art movements united around the concept of national consciousness, local elements have been acquired and it has been seen that the effort to reach the universal is motivated. Anatolian views, years of mobilization, victories, village life, sections from the lives of urban people, landscapes, agriculturists, struggle for development, family element, literacy activities, fishermen, portraits of Ataturk and his comrades and revolutions were among the priority works of painters in the first years of the Republic. Artists met with the public through exhibitions held in various provinces of Anatolia and it was seen that the public showed sufficient interest in these exhibitions. Painters were encouraged to go and paint in various provinces of the country with the support of the state and in this context, an event was organized under the name of Country Trips. The power of art to appeal to large masses has been an indicator of the high cultural level of state administrators. The power of the people and the will of the nation were revealed with the main statues put in the centers of big cities.
