Figure Features in Sadiq Rabee's Sculptures: the Bronze Sculptures as a Model

Abstract

The current research included the features of the form in the sculptures of Sadiq Rabee, "Bronze sculptures as a model", four chapters about me, the first of which is the general framework of the research, while the second chapter in the current study included the theoretical framework that contained two knowledge topics, the first of which was addressed: an introduction to the meaning of the form while the second topic included two axes The first axis included the figure in contemporary Iraqi sculpture, and the second axis included the sculptor Sadiq. At the end of the third chapter, the researcher mentioned the indicators that emerged from this chapter. As for the research procedures, in which the researcher identified his research community as (20) sculptural works from which the researcher chose in an intentional manner the samples of his research that were identified as (3) sculptural works. The descriptive and analytical approach is adopted in its analysis, and concluded by analyzing samples, as the sculptor in Mengizah relied on a method that tended to modernity in shaping because of its effect through his studies in Italy and his acquaintance with the methods of artistic formation related to the propositions of modernity in the completion of sculptural works as in most models. Some of the sculptor's works tended to create geometric constructions in his artistic composition with high degrees of abstraction aimed at creating various formations as well as providing the recipient with multiple readings without specifying a title for their meaning. Artistic treatments relied on the principle of harmony between the form and its intellectual content.

 This was reflected in the selection of materials that match the semantics of the ideological work whether in terms of texture (or (shape) or color), so beauty is no longer manifested in the form of the material only, but in its dimensions Intellectual and semantic as well. This was exemplified by all the models. Moreover, the researcher reached a number of conclusions, the most important of which are: The use of bronze ore in most of the works of the sculptor Sadiq Rabie, because it meets his psychological and emotional needs and is easy to acquire, as well as its advantages that made him one of his preferred materials and many works were formed by the sculptor by taking it as a position. Horizontally, it could be formed from a purely subjective narration that has a psychological connection to subjective issues or to his observations of works in the West directed towards that in many of his works accomplished in this direction.
