Abstract
Throughout history, from the cave era to the present day, artists have continuously innovated and updated their styles and techniques to reflect contemporary events and developments. The artist has expressed formalist tendencies in various mediums such as painting, ceramics, and sculpture since ancient times. Iraq, rich with a profound cultural heritage, takes pride in this legacy. Iraqi artists have notably been influenced by impressionism and cubism, producing prominent figures such as Jawad Saleem, Hafidh Al-Droubi, and Shaker Hassan. This study concludes that contemporary Iraqi artists have successfully embodied the aesthetics of modern plastic trends, harmonizing heritage with modernity. Contemporary artworks have prominently featured abstract tendencies that vividly express reality, crafted by artists characterized by refined sensibility and taste, capturing life's highest forms of beauty.
