"Her impressionist paintings are based on the tradition, which is transmitted to date from the military painters in Turkey." -- Perhaps "Her impressionism is based on a tradition transmitted via military painters in Turkey"? (If something else, then what?)

Thank you for the reply. (But next time, could you please not change text that has my name under it? But feel free to copy it and paste it and write comments within the pasted copy.) It's a pity that the sources you're using are so vague, but I understand that there's probably nothing you can do about this. -- Hoary (talk) 07:41, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
