The esthetic discourse of the artist Jawad Saleem's works

The purpose of this study is to determine the aesthetic discourse of the painting and sculpture works of the artist Jawad Selim. In the research, all the works of Jawad Selim, a innovative modern plastic artist, were examined, and three paintings and one sculpture were analyzed. The sample models were assessed using a tool developed for this purpose and presented to a panel of arbitrators to determine the validity coefficient. In line with the findings obtained as a result of the analysis, it has been evaluated that the works of the artist are defined by realism, abstraction and symbolism, as demonstrated by his popular paintings and the Freedom Monument. As a result, it has been determined that the artist Jawad Selim created an illumination that sheds light on innovative modern Iraqi plastic art, thanks to this generation who established their artistic identity with the awakening of Baghdad, whose memory was almost erased after being obliterated by the dust of events. Keywords: discourse, esthetic, art, painting, sculpture.
