Bir sanat tarihi araştırması olarak bu çalışmada, 1945'ten itibaren Irak’taki batılı anlamda sanatın siyasal ve toplumsal koşulları göz önünde bulundurularak, savaş öncesi ve sonrası çeşitli nedenlerle Irak dışına göç eden sanatçıların pozisyon ve duruşları değerlendirilmek amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma ayrıca, Irak’ta sanatçı olmanın dinamikleri ve bu süreçte gelişen konu ve temaları incelemektedir.
Irak gibi büyük bir sanatsal mirasa sahip ve siyasal ile sosyal değişimlerin etkisi altında bulunan bir ülkede sanatçı olmanın zorluklarını anlamak, oldukça zor dönemlerden geçip yurt dışına göç eden sanatçıların duruşlarını incelemek son derece önemlidir.
Irak çağdaş sanatında birçok sanatçı bulunması nedeniyle, detaylı bir inceleme ve gözlem sonrası, araştırmanın zaman ve coğrafi sınırlarına uygun olarak 1945’ten günümüze kadar yurtdışında yaşayan önde gelen Iraklı sanatçılar üzerine yoğunlaşılacaktır. Ayrıca, farklı üsluplara sahip sanatçılar ve nesillerin sınıflandırılması da dikkate alınacaktır.
Araştırma, "Lejyoner Iraklı Sanatçılar" konusunu incelemek için iki ana başlık altında toplanmıştır: Birincisi "Lejyoner Iraklı Sanatçılara Genel Bir Bakış," ikincisi ise "Lejyoner Sanatçı Örnekleri" başlığını altındadır. İlk bölümde yurt dışında yaşayan Iraklı sanatçılar tanıtılacak, ikinci bölümde ise bu sanatçıların hayatları ve eserleri detaylı bir şekilde analiz edilecektir. Çalışma, tanımlayıcı ve analitik bir yöntemle gerçekleştirilmekte olup, Iraklı sanatçıların yaşamları, eserleri ve temaları değerlendirilecektir. Sonuç olarak, bu araştırma, farklı nedenlerle yurt dışına göç eden Iraklı sanatçıların sanatsal duruşlarını derinlemesine incelemeyi hedeflemektedir.

LEGIONARIES IRAQI ARTISTS

Öz

This art history research aims to evaluate the positions and stances of Iraqi artists who migrated for various reasons before and after the war, considering the political and social conditions of Western art in Iraq since 1945. The research also examines the dynamics of being an artist in Iraq, along with the subjects and themes that developed during this process.

Understanding the challenges of being an artist in Iraq, a country with a rich artistic heritage and significant political and social changes, is crucial. This study also explores the stances of artists who migrated abroad after enduring difficult periods.

Given the number of artists in Iraqi contemporary art, the focus will be on prominent Iraqi artists who have lived abroad from 1945 to the present, in line with the time and geographical scope of the rese-arch. Additionally, the classification of artists across different styles and generations will be conside-red.

The research is divided into two sections: the first, "A General View of Legionary Iraqi Artists," intro-duces artists living abroad; the second, "Examples of Legionary Artists," analyzes their lives and works in detail. This study uses a descriptive and analytical approach to evaluate the lives, works, and themes of Iraqi artists. Ultimately, the research aims to examine the artistic stances of Iraqi artists who migrated abroad.
