Abstract
Formalism is a modern artistic approach that prioritizes the visual elements of an artwork over the historical, conventional, or narrative context. The research article aims to examine the evolution of formalist approach in modern Western painting, in addition to analyzing its significant influence on Pakistani art. The theory of formalism originated in association with modern Western art, which emphasized the aesthetic structure of an artwork as a principal component. Thereafter, Pakistani painting shows formalist tendencies reflecting intervention of the modern West. In the light of foundational theories regarding formalism presented by Western art critics and theorists, this research delves into aesthetic study and qualitative analysis of paintings by Western and Pakistani artists. Research findings underscore the significance of modern influences that have contributed towards the development of Pakistani painting. With a chief focus on formal aesthetics, Western artists pursue pure abstraction, while Pakistani painters explore cultural identity. A holistic comprehension of formalism in painting offers a profound insight into this distinct artistic expression while situating Pakistani painting within global modern art. The research opens avenues for further research on formalist theories and their application within new media practices.
