Abstract

The current study was entitled Deep Structure in the Ceramics of Pablo Picasso and Marisa Vanetti (A Comparative Study), and it included four chapters, as follows:

The first chapter included the general framework of the research, including a review of the research problem and then dealing with the importance of the research and the need for it, after which the limits of the research were determined, and then a list of terms that were defined. The second chapter, which is the theoretical framework of the research, included three sections: • The first topic: the concept of deep structure. The second topic: works of deep structure in the plastic arts. • The third topic: the artistic experience of artists.   Then, the second chapter resulted in a set of indicators in the theoretical framework that the researcher benefited from in directing her analysis of the research sample, while the third chapter included, It consists of the research community, the research sample, the methodology used, and the research tool used in the analysis, and then the analysis of the research sample, which was followed in the fourth chapter by the results, conclusions, recommendations and proposals, where the most important results were:

1. Every artistic achievement has a visual text consisting of a plastic structure that contains several formal elements within an organized format (surface structure). Both Pablo Picasso and Marisa Vanetti differed in presenting it in order to reach the intended discourse (deep structure), which is generated by those formal elements within the format that contains it.

2. The surface structure of the achievements of each of the artists formed a law governing the relationships between the various elements, according to a coordinated formal system that contributed to giving any artistic achievement its identity and privacy, as we find there is a clear privacy to the achievements of Pablo Picasso that was distinguished by his style of composition to represent his identity that indicates it, unlike Marisa Vanetti's style in representing her identity in composition, where the deep structure is recognized through the relationships existing between the various elements, which fall within human reasonableness, which was evident in their achievements.
