Abstract
Photomontage has the power of challenging with the recipient in showing the hidden meaning behind the image. It is customary to keep pace with some of the issues of the times through photomontage, through which the trend is to combat stereotyped thought and how to confront it in showing some visual implications for some topics in society, Here comes the role of research in the intellectual link between heritage and contemporary, which is the continuous search for new structures in culture and society, and it is by creating figurative forms using photomontage, expressions and special implicit meanings associated with visuals, that is, deleting non-main elements and gradually confirming the main entity until it reaches the suggestive meaning in the recipient’s thought, and we find Many attempts to summarize photomontage into an abstract symbolic entity away from the direct transmission of forms, and reveal to it the possibility of dispensing with explicit forms, It is characterized by the subjective style, which gives the power of the challenge to show the meaning, and Mondrian called for the way in which it is possible to create a pure, plastic reality, by transforming colors and natural forms into fixed-form elements, and into basic colors, as John Constable (1776-1837) explained: We do not see anything as it is, unless we begin to work on understanding it, in order to accept every renewal and modernization in thought, contemporary techniques, technical and scientific development of photomontage and how to employ it and Mondrian's work.
