A master's thesis at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Basra discussed distortion in contemporary world ceramics.
The thesis presented by the researcher Morteza Abdul-Jabbar Zoran included the topic of distortion, which is one of the most important methods that appeared in contemporary plastic arts through expressive and aesthetic ideas and methods that correspond to its constructive formulation embodied in contemporary plastic works.
The thesis aims to reveal the concept of distortion and how to employ it in contemporary international ceramics.
The thesis concluded that the works of contemporary Potters showed how art uses distortion for moral and symbolic distortion instead of physical distortion to express emotions and complex concepts.
