Akram Shukri embraced the artistic modernity project and was influenced by one of the pioneers of Abstract Expressionism in the United States but with his vision and style. Akram Shukri's influence was formal and not expressive; he needed to have the suffering, pressure, and heat imposed by competition, stampede, and a strong desire to prove the distinction that Westerners had. For the artist, life in Baghdad was calm, and the competition and the charge were also quiet, so the outputs and the elements of the display of color, lines, and flows expressed this environment and this atmosphere. We notice this in most pioneer artists’ works in the 1950s.
