Expression Dimensions in Ancient Sculpture Art in Kurdistan

Abstract

This research, titled "Expression Dimensions in Ancient Sculpture Art in Kurdistan" is an intellectual and artistic study on artistic symbolism and expressionism in ancient sculpture in Kurdistan. The research dedicates a special section to discussing the role and importance of stone sculpture in Kurdistan. This is done by cutting small and medium-sized pieces of stone on the mountain surfaces to create sculptures that bear specific identity, symbols, expression, indication, and form. Generally, during the periods of Mesopotamian civilization, the archaeological remains and the art of stone sculptures were inherited by ancient Kurdistan and its surrounding areas.

The research also consists of a summary and four sections, in which the research problems, its significance, objectives, boundaries, duration, and terminology are defined. The researcher has been able to present the expressionism of ancient sculpture art in Kurdistan by classifying and analyzing samples.
