• Modern, which means
“pertaining to the present or very
recent past”, suggests that the
period of art it refers to may have
begun in the past but is still going
on today.

 IMPRESSIONISM
Impressionism: Its Origins and the Start of New Painting Practices

• Impressionism was an art movement that emerged in the

second half of the 19th century among a group of Paris-
based artists.
• These involved new use of color and light, choice of
ordinary everyday subject matter and settings, and a
technique in capturing a moment through painting
outdoors in natural light.
• a momentary “impression” of an image and how it was
caught at the present reality. It captures real life
IMPRESSIONISM AND
THE WORKS OF
MONET, RENOIR, AND
MANET
 CLAUDE MONET (1840-1926)
• He was one of the founders of the
impressionist movement along Auguste Renoir,
Alfred Sisley, and Frederic Bazille. He was the
most prominent and influential figure in the
impressionist movement.
• He is best known for landscape paintings
depicting his flower gardens and water lily
ponds at his home.
La, Promenade
Claude Monet, 1875
Oil on canvas
“Impression, Sunrise” was about Monet’s
search for spontaneous expression, but was
guided by definite and historically specific
ideas about what spontaneous expression was.
It is then fitting that “Impression, Sunrise” was
considered to sum up the start of the
movement and its name.

AUGUSTE RENOIR (1841-1919)
• He was part of the central figures of the
impressionist movement.
• His works on everyday subjects were full of
sparkling color and light. However, he broke
from the impressionist movement in the
mid1800s to apply a more disciplined, formal
technique in painting actual people and
figures.
A Girl with a Watering Can

EDOUARD MANET (1832-1883)
• depicted modern-life subjects
and became a key-figure in the
transition from realism to
impressionism. Several his works
were considered as the mark of
the birth of modern art.

 IMPRESSIONISM
DISTINCT CHARACTERISTICS
1. COLOR AND LIGHT
• Short broken strokes
• Pure unmixed colors side by side
• Freely brushed colors (convey visual
effect)
2. EVERYDAY SUBJECTS
• Scenes of life
• Household objects
• Landscapes and Seascapes
• Houses, Cafes, Buildings
3. PAINTING OUTDOORS
• Previously, still lifes, portraits, and
landscapes were painted inside the
studio. The impressionists found that
they could best capture the ever-
changing effects of light on color by
painting outdoors in natural light.
4. OPEN COMPOSITION
• Impressionist painting also
moved away from the formal,
structured approach to placing
and positioning their subjects.
 POST-IMPRESSIONISM
AND THE WORKS OF
CEZZANE AND VAN GOGH
• Post-impressionism is an outgrowth movement
that emerged when the impressionism period
ended.
• Artists who were leading the new movement
continued using the basic qualities of
impressionism but experimented using bold new
ways such as geometric approach and fragmenting
objects and distorting people’s faces and body
parts.
• They also used colors which are not necessarily
realistic or natural.
PAUL CEZZANE (1839-1906)
• He was a French artist and post-
impressionist painter whose works led
the transition from 19th-century
impressionism to a new and different
world of art in the 20th century, paving
the way for expressionism as a
revolutionary art movement
 Harlequin

VINCENT VAN GOGH (1853- 1890)
• He was a post-impressionist painter from the
Netherlands. His works are known from their
strong, heavy brush strokes, intense
emotions, and colors that appeared to be full
of energy.
• Van Gogh’s unique style became influential to
modern art and his works became extremely
popular in the world.

and developed the backlighting
technique Chiaroscuro, which became
his artistic trademark and his greatest
contribution to Philippine.

 EXPRESSIONISM
Expressionism as a Bold New Movement

• Expressionism, as a Western artistic movement,

began in the early 1900s.
• Artists in this movement created works with more
emotional force, rather than realistic or natural
images.
• To do so, they distorted outlines, applied strong
colors, and exaggerated forms. They worked more
with their emotions and feelings, rather than what
can be seen in real life.
EXPRESSIONISM
SUB – MOVEMENTS
1. Neoprivitism – Incorporated
elements of native art
2. Fauvism - Uses bold, vibrant colors
and visual distortions.
3. Dadaism - Characterized by dream
fantasies, memory images, and visual
tricks and fantasies.
4. Surrealism - Depicts an illogical
subconscious dream world beyond the
logical, conscious, physical one.
5. Social Realism - Expresses the artist’s
role in social reform.
 NEOPRIVITISM
• incorporated elements of native arts of
the South Sea Islanders and the wood
carvings of African tribes which were
popular at that time. Amadeo Modigliani,
a Wester artist, adopted this style and
use oval faces and elongated shapes of
African art in his sculptures and
paintings.

 FAUVISM
• Fauvism used bold, vibrant colors, and
visual distortions. Its name is derived
from the term “les fauves (wild beasts)”
which referred to a group of French
expressionist artists who painted in this
style. Henri Matisse is the most known
among them.
Woman with Hat
(Henri Matisse, 1905)

 DADAISM
was a style characterized by dreams fantasies,
memory images, and visual tricks and surprises-
such as the work of Giorgio de Chirico. This art
style arose after World War I when a group of
artists rebelled against norms, authorities, and
traditional styles in art. The term “dada
(hobbyhorse)” was used to refer to their new
“nonstyle”.
Melancholy and Mystery of a Street
Giorgio de Chirico, 1914
Oil on canvas
 SURREALISM
• depicted subjects which are beyond the
logical, physical, real world. Its name is
derived from “super realism”, with artworks
expressing a departure from reality, as
though the artists were dreaming, seeing
illusions, or experiencing altered mental
state. Many surrealist works depicted scary
or gloomy subjects while others seemed
playful and humorous.
Persistence of Memory
Salvador Dali, 1931
Oil on canvas
 SOCIAL REALISM
• was an artist’s way of protesting against
social injustices, inequalities, immorality,
and ugliness of human condition. Issues
such as war, poverty, corruption,
industrial and environmental hazards,
and more were addressed in artworks to
help raise awareness and gain social
reform.

 ABSTRACTIONISM
• The abstractionist art movement emerged as the
same time with the expressionist movement.
• While expressionism was emotional,
abstractionism was logical and rational.
• Artists of the abstractionist movement used
geometrical shapes, patterns, lines, angles,
textures, and swirls of color to represent subjects
and setting.
ABSTRACTIONISM
SUB – MOVEMENTS
1. Cubism - Artworks were a play
of planes and angles on a flat
surface.

2. Futurism - Arts were created for

a fast-paced, machine-propelled
age.
3. Mechanical Style - The result of the
futurist movement. Basic forms such
as planes, cones, spheres, and
cylinders all fit together precisely and
neatly in their appointed places.

4. Non-objectivism - Do not use

figures.
 CUBISM
• derived its name from the cube, a three
dimensional geometric figure composed of
lines, planes, and angles. Cubist artworks
play with these planes and angles on a flat
surface. Their artworks can be depicted from
more than one visual angle and gave a sense
of imbalance and misplacement to create a
visual impact.
Three Musicians
Pablo Picasso, 1921
Oil on canvas
 FUTURISM
• began in Italy in the early 1900s.
It is based on the concept of
machines. Artists of this
movement were inspired by
motion, force, speed, and
strength of mechanical forms.
Armored Train

 MECHANICAL STYLE
• is a result of the futurist
movement. In this style, basic
forms such as planes, cones,
spheres, and cylinders are used
to depict settings and human
figures.
The City

 NON - OBJECTIVISM
• is the logical geometrical conclusion
of abstractionism. The term “non
object” specifies that the art style did
not use recognizable objects or forms
to represent their subject or setting.
Only basic lines, shapes, and colors
are used.

ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM
SUB – MOVEMENTS
Abstract Expressionist paintings share several broad
characteristics. They often use degrees of
abstraction; i.e., they depict forms unrealistically or,
at the extreme end, forms not drawn from the visible
world (nonobjective). They emphasize free,
spontaneous, and personal emotional expression,
and they exercise considerable freedom of technique
and execution to attain this goal, with a particular
emphasis laid on the exploitation of the variable
physical character of paint to evoke expressive
qualities (e.g., sensuousness, dynamism, violence,
mystery, lyricism).
 ACTION
PAINTING
- The techniques
could be
splattering,
squirting, and
dribbling paint
with no
preplanned
design
COLOR FIELD
PAINTING
Uses different color saturations to
create desired effects
Memes as a Form of Protest Art: a Neo-neo
Dadaist Movement NEO - DADAISM
- has been exemplified by its use
of modern materials, popular
imagery, and absurdist contrast. It
was a reaction to the personal
emotionalism of Abstract
Expressionis
- simultaneously mocked and
celebrated consumer culture,
united opposing conventions of
abstraction and realism, and
disregarded boundaries between
media through experimentation
with assemblage, performance,
and other hybrid fusions.
 POP ART
Distinct Characteristics:
1. Range of Work - From
painting, to posters,
collages, 3D
assemblages, and
installations.
2. Inspirations/Subjects -
Advertisements,
celebrities, billboards,
and comic strips
 OP ART

Distinct Characteristics:
1. A form of action
painting with the action
taking place in the
viewer’s eye.
2. As the eye moved over
a diff. segments of the
image, perfectly stable
components appeared
to shift back and forth
 CONCEPTUAL ART
- conceptual art, also
called post-object art or art-as-
idea, artwork whose medium is
an idea (or a concept), usually
manipulated by the tools of
language and sometimes
documented by photography. Its
concerns are idea-based rather
than formal.
- many artists experimented with
art that emphasized ideas over
objects and materials traditionally
associated with art making
CONTEMPORARY
ART FORMS
INSTALLATION ART
• Uses sculptural materials and other
media to modify the viewer’s experience
in a particular space.
• - Usually lifesize or even larger.
Installation can be constructed in
everyday public or private spaces both
indoor and outdoor
PERFORMANCE ART
• The actions of the performers may
constitute work. It can happen any time
at any place for any length of time.
• - It may include activities such as
theater, dance, music, mime, juggling,
and gymnastics
• PIC
SUMMARY
1. IMPRESSIONISM
• an art movement that emerged in the second half of the 19th century
• the viewer’s momentary impression of an image and is not intended
to be clear or precise
• a representation of what it would be in real life
2. POST-IMPRESSIONISM
• artists expanded in bold ways using geometric approach, such as
fragmenting objects and distorting people’s face and body parts
applying colors which are not necessarily natural
• rejected interest in depicting the observed world and they looked to
their memories and emotions to connect with the viewer on a deeper
level
3. EXPRESSIONISM
• artists created works with more emotional force rather
than with realistic or natural images to convey a subject
or a setting
• they work more with imagination and feelings, rather
than what their eyes see in the physical world
• they distorted outlines, applied strong colors, and
exaggerated forms
4. ABSTRACTIONISM
• a logical and rational art movement
• artists used geometric shapes, patterns, lines, angles, texture,
and swirls of color to represent subject and settings
• no subject could be easily recognized
5. ABSTRACTIONISM - EXPRESSIONISM
• centered on the idea that art elicits and provokes
emotion in the viewer
• believed that the role of the artist was to provide the
viewer with something that would bring out these
effects
• achieves this by letting the medium and composition
communicate for itself
