Historical and Stylistic Context

1. Victorio Edades
- Father of Philippines Modern Art
- Initiating the Modern Art movement that
challenged the Neoclassic Style, which was
dominant that time

Neoclassic Art – depicts reality as closely as possible


and idealizes it: beautiful and pastoral. Neoclassic art is
“academic” as it was and continues to be taught in
school (UP Fine Arts) where Fernando Amorsolo and
Guillermo Tolentino are influential.

Modern Art – depicts what might be thought of as “ugly”


and unpleasant.

- Modern artists do not aim to copy and idealize


reality.
- They can change colors and flatten the picture
instead of creating illusions of depth.

Neoclassic Style – creates illusions of depthness,


nearness, and farness. Familiar and comfortable.

Modern Art – they change colors and flatten the picture


instead of new looking and shocking. Modern art is
referred to as “traditional”, compared to Contemporary
Art.

of Neo-realists
 Contemporary art is influenced by Social
Realism
