IMPRESSIONISM
Claude Monet

he was constantly exploring What do I
see and how do I record it in painting?

observing and painting light and nature.
He would stay for long hours at a
different times of day in his garden to paint it.

The Founders and
Characteristics of Cubism
Pablo Picasso and George Braque, started the ideas that all shapes
in the nature are based on geometric shapes- the sphere, the cone,
and the cylinder. The idea was unprecedented. For the first time, a
shift in focus from subject matter to the abstract properties of line,
shape and composition became the new way of seeing the world of
artists. In this way, an art of the senses was replaced by an art of the
mind.
Filipino Cubists
C. Legaspi Combancheros
Manansala hardly tore the image into pieces lke many
jigsaw fragments the way Picassioand Braque did in
their works. He has his own easily to understand king of
Cubism- “transparent cubism” – which he claims he
developed all by himself. This approach shows images,
say, birds in flight, as transparencies or “glaze” that
interlock and overlap which do not present much depth-
that is such one finds, for example in the Cubist works
of Picasso.
Dadaism
Founded in Zurich, Switzerland in
1916, one of the artists expressed
their disillusionment in their act.
Known as Dada, the movement got
its name from a nonsense word.
Throughout its brief lifespan of six
years, Dada seemed nonsensical, but
it had a no-nonsense aim. It is no
wonder that Dadaists artists felt they
could no longer trust reason and
society. Their alternative was to
overthrow all authority, tradition, and
cultivate absurdity. Marcel Duchamp. Mona Lisa, 1919
Dada’s movements most famous Inventor
• In America, the most well-known Dadaist
was Marcel Duchamp, whose earliest
work was a ready-made bicycle-wheel
mounted on a kitchen stool (1913). His
most outrageous work was the Fountain
(1917), an industrial porcelain urinal , set
sideways and signed ‘R. Mutt,’ Duchamp’s
pseudonym. Fountain was pure
provocation. The exhibition organizers had
stated that all entries would be accepted,
and Duchamp want to see if they really Fountain, 1917
meant it.
