Quarter I: MODERN ART
In all of human history, art has mirrored life in the community, society, and the
world in all its colors, lines, shapes, and forms. The same has been true in the last
two centuries, with world events and global trends being reflected in the art
movements. The 20th century saw a boom in the interchange of ideas, beliefs,
values, and lifestyles that continues to bring the citizens of the world closer together.
Technological breakthroughs
From the Industrial Revolution of the late 1800s, the world zoomed into the
Electronic Age in the mid-1900s, then into the present Cyberspace Age.
Putting this and similar principles into wider practice, future painters would
carry French art into one of its richest periods: impressionism.
Impressionists also began to break away from the creation of formally posed
portraits and grandiose depictions of mythical, literary, historical, or religious subjects.
They ventured into capturing scenes of life around them, household objects,
landscapes and seascapes, houses, cafes, and buildings. They presented ordinary
people seemingly caught off-guard doing everyday tasks, at work or at leisure, or
doing nothing at all. And they were not made to look beautiful or lifelike, as body
parts could be distorted and facial features merely suggested by a few strokes of the
brush.
Painting Outdoors
The location in which the impressionists painted was also different. Previously,
still lifes, portraits, and landscapes were usually painted inside a studio. However,
the impressionists found that they could best capture the ever-changing effects of
light on color by painting outdoors in natural light. This gave their works a freshness
and immediacy that was quite a change from the stiffer, heavier, more planned
paintings of earlier masters.
Open Composition
Impressionist painting also moved away from the formal, structured approach
to placing and positioning their subjects. They experimented with unusual visual
angles, sizes of objects that appeared out of proportion, off-center placement, and
empty spaces on the canvas. The Influence of Photography
Photography was in its early stages at this time as well. As it gained popularity,
photography inspired impressionists to capture fleeting moments of action, whether
in landscapes or in the day-to-day lives of people. But whereas camera snapshots
provided objective, true-to-life images, the artists were able to offer a subjective view
of their subjects, expressing their personal perceptions rather than creating exact
representations. They also had the advantage of manipulating color, which
photography at that time still lacked.
What is It
1. IMPRESSIONISM
By the 1870s, the stage was set for the emergence of the next major art
movement in Europe, impressionism. It started with a group of French painters—that
included Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir—and eventually spread to
other countries, such as Italy, Germany, and The Netherlands.
A. Edouard Manet Edouard Manet (1832-1883) was one of the first 19th
century artists to depict modern-life subjects. He was a key figure in the transition
from realism to
impressionism, with a number of his works co nsidered as marking the birth of modern
art.

B. Claude Monet
Claude Monet (1840-1926) was one of the founders of the impressionist
movement along with his friends Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Frédéric Bazille.
He was the most prominent of the group; and is considered the most influential figure
in the movement. Monet is best known for his landscape paintings, particularly those
depicting his beloved flower gardens and water lily ponds at his home in Giverny.

C. Auguste Renoir
Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), along with Claude Monet, was one of the central
figures of the impressionist movement. His early works were snapshots of real life,
full of sparkling color and light. By the mid-1880s, however, Renoir broke away from
the impressionist movement to apply a more disciplined, formal technique to portraits
of actual people and figure paintings.

2. POST-IMPRESSIONISM
The European artists who were at the forefront of this movement continued
using the basic qualities of the impressionists before them—the vivid colors, heavy
brush strokes, and true-to-life subjects. However, they expanded and experimented
with these in bold new ways, like using a geometric approach, fragmenting objects
and distorting people’s faces and body parts, and applying colors that were not
necessarily realistic or natural. Two of the foremost post-impressionists were
PaulCézanne and Vincent van Gogh.
A. Paul Cezanne
Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) was a French artist and post-impressionist painter.
His work exemplified the transition from late 19th-century impressionism to a new
and radically different world of art in the 20th century—paving the way for the next
revolutionary art movement known as expressionism.
3. EXPRESSIONISM
In the early 1900s, there arose in the Western art world a movement that
came to be known as expressionism. Expressionist artists created works with more
emotional force, rather than with realistic or natural images. To achieve this, they
distorted outlines, applied strong colors, and exaggerated forms. They worked more
with their imagination and feelings, rather than with what
their eyes saw in the physical world. A. Neoprimitivism
B. Fauvism
a style that used bold, vibrant colors
and visual distortions. Its name was derived
from les fauves (―wild beasts‖), referring to the
group of French expressionist painters who
painted in this style. Perhaps the most known among them was Henri Matisse.
C. Dadaism
a style characterized by dream
fantasies, memory images, and visual tricks
and surprises. Although the works appeared
playful, the movement arose from the pain that
a group of European artists felt after the
suffering brought by World War I. Wishing to
protest against the civilization that had brought
on such horrors, these
E. Social Realism
expressed the artist’s role in social reform. Artists used
their works to protest against the injustices, inequalities,
immorality, and ugliness of the human condition. In different periods
of history, social realists have addressed different issues: war,
poverty, corruption, industrial and environmental hazards, and
more—in the hope of raising people’s
awareness and pushing society to seek
reforms.
4. ABSTRACTIONISM
The abstractionist movement arose from the intellectual points of view in the
20th century. In the world of science, physicists were formulating a new view of the
universe, which resulted in the concepts of space-time and relativity. This
intellectualism was reflected even in art. While expressionism was emotional,
abstractionism was logical and rational. It involved analyzing, detaching, selecting,
and simplifying.
In 20th century abstractionism, natural appearances became unimportant.
Artists reduced a scene into geometrical shapes, patterns, lines, angles, textures and
swirls of color. The resulting works ranged from representational abstractionism,
depicting still recognizable subjects, to pure abstractionism, where no recognizable
subject could be discerned.
A. Cubism
derived its name from the cube, a
three dimensional geometric figure composed of
strictly measured lines, planes, and angles.
Cubist artworks were, therefore, a play of planes
and angles on a flat surface. Foremost among
the
B. Futurism
began in Italy in the early 1900s. As the name implies,
the futurists created art for a fast-paced, machine-propelled age. They
admired the motion, force, speed, and strength of mechanical forms.
Thus, their works depicted the dynamic sensation of all these—as can
be seen in the works of Italian painter Gino Severini.
C. Mechanical Style
basic forms such as planes, cones, spheres, and cylinders all fit together
precisely and neatly in their appointed places. This can be seen in the works of
Fernand Léger. Mechanical parts such as crankshafts, cylinder blocks, and pistons
are brightened only by the use of primary colors.
mainly black, white, and the primaries (red, yellow, and blue). Foremost among the
nonobjectivists was Dutch painter Piet Mondrian. New York City Piet Mondrian, 1942

pre-planned pattern or design in mind. The total effect is one of vitality, creativity,
―energy made visible.‖
B. Conceptual Art
As the term implies, conceptual art was that which
arose in the mind of the artist, took concrete form for a time,
and then disappeared (unless it was captured in photo or
film documentation). Conceptualists questioned the idea of
art as objects to be bought and sold. Instead, they brought
their artistic ideas to life temporarily, using such unusual
materials as grease, blocks of ice, food, even just plain dirt.
C. Op Art
This was yet another experiment in visual experience—a form
of ―action painting,‖ with the action taking place in the viewer’s eye.
In op art, lines, spaces, and colors were precisely planned and
positioned to give the illusion of movement.
A. Installation Art
a contemporary art form that uses
sculptural materials and other media to modify the
way the viewer experiences a particular space.
Usually lifesize or sometimes even larger,
installation art is not necessarily confined to
gallery spaces. It can be constructed or positioned
in everyday public or private spaces, both indoor
and outdoor.
Materials used in today’s installation art range from everyday items and
natural materials to new media such as video,
sound, performance, and computers.
Performance art does include such activities as theater, dance, music, mime,
juggling, and gymnastics. However, the term is usually reserved for more
unexpected, avantgarde, and unorthodox activities intended to capture the
B. Performance Art
a form of modern art in which the
actions of an individual or a group at a particular
place and in a particular time constitute the work.
It can happen anywhere, at any time, or for any
length of time. It can be any situation that
involves four basic elemen
audience’s attention. The performer himself or herself is the artist, rather than an
actor playing a character as in a stage play.
The performance venue may range from an art gallery or museum to a theater,
café, bar, or street corner. The performance itself rarely follows a traditional storyline
or plot.
