Abstract

                   The structure of artistic achievements throughout the ages has not followed a specific path, but there has been a very clear difference. The scientific aspect has had an important presence and role in influencing a large group of artists, especially in the artistic products of the modernist stage and beyond, as some artists began to deal with the scientific aspect directly, which made their artistic products have a scientific and aesthetic character that reflects the artist's vision and aspiration for his cognitive reality. This is what enriched the artistic achievements with multiple methods and techniques. Organic art is one of the artistic methods with a scientific character in which the techniques of manifestation have multiplied through the direct or indirect investment of organic theory in its various specializations and combining it with contemporary artistic methods such as installation and assemblage. This is what the current study is concerned with in revealing the manifestation of organic art in these artistic trends.
