Expressionism
 Expressionism
Expressionism is an artistic movement that aims
to capture the subjective feelings and reactions
that things and situations elicit in the viewer
rather than objective fact.
In a broader sense, expressionism was one of the
major trends in art during the late 19th and early
20th centuries.
Expressionism can also be seen as a persistent
trend in Germanic and Nordic art.

forms
 Op Art
Op Art is an abbreviation of 'optical art' and the term
came into regular use in the mid-1960s. The style is
characterised by abstract patterns, often in black and
white, with a stark contrast between background and
foreground.
Op art
Title: Zebra
Date: c. 1937
Artist: Victor Vasarely, (French), 1949-2002
Medium: Silkscreen on Plexiglass

Two zebras intertwine on a black background, limbs overlapping. The

zebras are defined only by the alternating black and white lines that
make up their stripes. There is no outline that defines the boundary of
the figures. At the same time the two zebras appear, they also fade and
break-apart into abstract shapes. The overlapping bodies of the zebras It seems like Vasarely picked the adequate animal for
are full of movement and power. representing in one of the firsts pieces of the Op-art
movement. His artwork is a highly contrasting
somewhat-abstracted work that set the course for Optical
Art in the 20th century.
 Pop Art
Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the 1950s
and flourished in the 1960s in America and Britain,
drawing inspiration from sources in popular and
commercial culture. Different cultures and countries
contributed to the movement during the 1960s and
70s.
 Pop art
Title: Marilyn Diptych
Date: b. 1962
Artist: Andy Warhol, (Spanish), 1881-1973
Medium: Acrylic paint on canvas

The Marilyn Diptych is a silkscreen painting. The monumental

work is one of the artist's most noted of the movie star. The
painting consists of 50 images. Each image of the actress is
taken from the single publicity photograph from the film
Niagara.
The use of two contrasting canvases for Marilyn Diptych
illustrates the contrast between the public life of the star, who at
the time was one of the most famous women alive, and her
private self.
 Installation Art
The term installation art is used to describe large-scale,
mixed-media constructions, often designed for a specific
place or for a temporary period of time.
The goal behind installation art is to evoke emotion and
conversation and to bring light to issues that are
important to the artist.
Installation art
Title: Pasyon at Rebolusyon
Date: b. 1989
Artist: Santiago Bose, (Filipino), 1949-2002
Medium: Mixed media installation

A remount of Santiago Bose’s 1983 installation “Pasyon at Rebolusyon”

inspired by historian-scholar Reynaldo C. Ileto’s Pasyon and
Revolution: Popular Movements in the Philippines, 1840–1910, a work
that enabled us to rethink revolutionary movements, especially the one
against Spain, in the light of the Filipino’s deeper spiritual

initiation rites has been reinstalled by artist Kawayan de
Guia for the Propaganda exhibit.
 Conceptual Art

Conceptual art is art for which the idea (or concept)

behind the work is more important than the finished
art object. It emerged as an art movement in the 1960s
and the term usually refers to art made from the mid-
1960s to the mid-1970s.
Conseptual art
Title: One and Three Chairs
Date: b. 1965
Artist: Joseph Kosuth, (American), 1945
Medium: An actual chair (center), with a
photograph of the same chair and an
enlarged copy of a defination of a chair

Kosuth didn’t make the chair, take the photograph, or write the
definition; he selected and assembled them together. By
assembling these three alternative representations, Kosuth turns
a simple wooden chair into an object of debate and even
consternation, a platform for exploring new meanings.
The work One and Three Chairs can be seen to
highlight the relation between language, picture and
referent. It problematizes relations between object,
visual and verbal references (denotations) plus
semantic fields of the term chosen for the verbal
reference.
 Contemporary Painting
Contemporary painting consists of the artistic practice
of painting, in which paint or a different medium is
applied on to a two-dimensional surface, from roughly
1960/1970 up to today.
Contemporary Painting
Title: Father
Date: b. 1980
Artist: Lou Zhongli, (Chinese), 1948
Medium: Oil on canvas

When Luo Zhongli’s oil painting, Father, was first exhibited at the
Second National Youth Exhibition in 1981 in China’s capital, Beijing,
visitors were astonished by what they saw. It was not necessarily the
subject matter, composition, or colors that drew them in. Rather, it
was the raw truthfulness with which Luo depicted his subject.
Originally titled “My Father,” this painting is based on sketches he
made of a man whose job was to guard a local manure pit in the
remote Daba Mountains. This artwork elicited strong reactions among
the Chinese public and remains one of the most revered paintings
from this period in China’s history.
That concludes our review of

contemporary art forms!
