Career

[edit]

Voice actress

[edit]

Cimcoz, who was working at the Agricultural Products Bureau (Turkish: Toprak Mahsülleri Ofisi) as a translator, entered voice acting upon the recommendation of her voice actor brother Ferdi Tayfur.[1] She dubbed for lead characters in both domestic and foreign films.[3] She also provided support to her brother by dubbing for major female roles.[6] Among the actresses she dubbed for were Türkan Şoray, Hülya Koçyiğit, Belgin Doruk, Fatma Girik, Filiz Akın, Muhterem Nur, and Neriman Köksal in numerous films.[3][5] Her career in voice acting extended from 1936 until her death in 1970.[5]

Cimcoz used the language of the common people.[6] She adopted the expressions of the people heard during her childhood years in her father's house in the Kocamustafapaşa quarter of Old Istanbul.[7] Finding the opportunity to watch all the tours of the traditional theater where she lived, she also performed the shadow play Karagöz and Hacivat at home. She transferred new and original folk expressions, and imitations of dialects captured from master Karagöz artists, to film.[6] The owner of Lale Film, for whom Cimcoz worked many years, said that "she translated Ottoman Turkish language or foreign words and terms given in the screenplay into pure Turkish by making the dialogues kindly but firmly".[2]

On 5 December 1950, Cimcoz opened an art gallery named "Maya" in Beyoğlu, Istanbul. It was the country's first private art gallery curated by a woman and remained the only one until its closure in 1955.[3][5] Cimcoz started new exhibition concepts at the Maya Art Gallery. She prepared exhibitions with paintings inspired by poetry or music, and opened cartoon exhibits to support the acceptance of caricature as an art, in addition to mounting exhibitions of painting, sculpture, mosaic, ceramics, photography, patterns, and folk arts. Her presentation of the subjects in tandem realized an interdisciplinary dimension for the first time in art.[3] Among the various works exhibited at Maya Art Gallery were those by Cemal Tollu, a member of the artist collective Group D, and by Melda Kaptana. Organized by the Friends of Art Association which Cimcoz co-founded, 61 works of women painters were on display in the gallery. Cimcoz also curated exhibitions to support child cartoonists.[3]

Traven, Lope de Vega, Franz Kafka, T. Tibor Déry, and Max Frisch into Turkish.[2][3][5]
