Impressionism emerged in the late 19th century focusing on capturing fleeting moments and effects of light using short brush strokes, pure colors, and everyday subjects. Key impressionists included Monet and Renoir. Expressionism used distorted forms and exaggerated colors to convey personal feelings rather than realistic depictions, seen in works by Munch and Kandinsky. Cubism combined views of subjects into fragmented, abstracted scenes as in works by Picasso, Braque, and Filipino artists Manansala and Legaspi.

their eyes saw in the physical world.
16. FAMOUS PROPONENTS OF EXPRESSIONISM
• Edvard Munch is best known as being a Norwegian
born, expressionist painter, and printer. In the late 20th
century, he played a great role in German expressionism,
and the art form that later followed; namely because of
the strong mental anguish that was displayed in many of
the pieces that he created.
18. • Russian-born Wassily Kandinsky pioneered
abstract art in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries. His unique perspective on the form
and function of art emphasized the synthesis
of the visual and the auditory. He heard
sounds as color, and this unusual perception
was a guiding force in the development of his
artistic style. He believed the purpose of art to
be the conveyance of the artist's unique inner
vision, which required transcendence of the
objective world.

• Artworks were a play of planes and angles on a flat surface. (cubes)
• A sense of imbalance and misplacement that created immediate visual impact.
• It was a revolutionary new approach to representing reality invented in around
1907–08 by artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. They brought different
views of subjects (usually objects or figures) together in the same picture,
resulting in paintings that appear fragmented and abstracted
• The name ‘cubism’ seems to have derived from a comment made by the critic
Louis Vauxcelles who, on seeing some of Georges Braque’s paintings exhibited
in Paris in 1908, described them as reducing everything to ‘geometric outlines,
to cubes’.

26. • Cesar Legaspi (April 2, 1917 – April 7, 1994) is a Filipino
National Artist in painting. He was also an art director
prior to going full-time in his visual art practice in the
1960s. His early (1940s-1960s) works are described as
depictions of anguish and dehumanization of beggars
and laborers in the city. These include Man and
Woman (alternatively known as Beggars) and Gadgets'.
Primarily because of this early period, critics have
cited Legaspi's having "reconstituted" in his paintings
"cubism's unfeeling, geometric ordering of figures into a
social expressionism rendered by interacting forms filled
with rhythmic movement".
FILIPINO CUBISTS
28. • Characterized by dream fantasies, memory images, and visual tricks
and fantasies.
• 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 artists rebelled against established
norms and authorities, and against the traditional styles in art.
• They chose the child’s term for hobbyhorse, dada, to refer to their
new “non-style.”

Duchamp, (born July 28, 1887, Blainville,
