art and op

art the New York school in the 1920s and

1930s aspiring Young American painters

sculptors and writers sailed to Europe

to expand their Horizons but during the

dark days of world War II a reverse

migration brought European scientists

Architects and artists to American

Shores New York in particular became a

Haven for the newly arrived artists and

their American

counterparts the result was the

establishment of what came to be known

as the New York school as opposed to the

school of Paris that had been very

influential in Europe the daring Young

Artists in this movement succeeded in

creating their own synthesis of Europe's

Cubist and surrealist style their style

came to be known as abstract

expressionism one form of abstract

expressionism was seen in the works of

Jackson poock this work created through

what came to be known as action painting

Pollock worked on huge canvases spread

on the floor splattering squirting and

dribbling paint with seemingly no pray

plan pattern or design in mind the total

effort is one of Vitality creativity

entitled Autumn Rhythm he made it way

back 1950 and it is an oilon canvas

painting in contrast to the vigorous

gestures of the action painters another

group of artists who came to be known as

color field painters used different

color saturation such as Purity

vividness intensity to create their

desired effect Tex some of their Works

were huge fields of vibrant color as in

the paintings of Mark Rothco and Barnett

Newman others took the more intimate

pictograph approach filling the canvas

with repeating picture fragments or

symbols as in the works of Adolf GLE and

Lee

place a new crop of

artists came on the scene using lighter

treatment and flashes of humor even

irreverence in their artworks the

movements they brought about have come

to be called neoism and pop art

conceptual art op art and the new

realism like the theist movement that

arose after World War I the neoism of

the 1960s wanted to make reforms in

Traditional Values it also made use of

Common Place trivial even nonsensical

objects but unlike the angry serious

Stone of the original deists the Neo

deist seem to enjoy nonsense for its own

sake and simply wanted to laugh at the

world their Works ranged from paintings

to posters to collages to

three-dimensional assemblages and

installations this made use of easily

recognizable objects and images from the

emerging consumer society as in the

prince of Andy warhole their

Inspirations were the celebrities

advertisements Billboards and comic

strips that were becoming commonplace at

that time hence the term pop from the

world popular art

emerged let's talk about who Andy

warhole is he lived from 1928 up to

1987 Andy warhole was a successful

magazine and AD illustrator who became a

leading artist of the 1960s pop art

movements he ventured into a wide

variety of art forms including

performance art film making video

installations and writing and

controversially blurred the lines

between Fine Art and mainstream

Aesthetics warhole died in February 22

1987 in New York

City here is an example of Andy warhol's

artworks first one is called 12 cars an

art print which he did well way back

1962 and here is one of the most famous

Andy warhol's artworks called Marilyn

Monroe a silk screen painting he did in

the way back

1967 another famous artist in this art

style is Roy lonstein he lived from 1923

[Music]

1963 this one is called in the car which

is an artwork he did way back in 1963

[Music]

now let's talk about conceptual art as

the term implies conceptual art was that

which arose in the mind of the artist

took concrete form for a time and then

disappeared unless it was captured in

photo or film

documentation conceptualists question

the idea of art as objects to be bought

and sold instead they brought their

artistic ideas to life temporarily using

such a new visual materials as grease

blocks of ice food even just plain

dirt a key difference between a

conceptual artwork and a traditional

painting or sculpture is that the

conceptualists work often requires

little or no physical

craftsmanship much of the artist's time

and effort goes into the concept or idea

behind the work with the actual

execution then being relatively quick

and simple

an example is this conceptual art piece

by Joseph

Koso this artwork is called one and

three

chairs in this work kot used an actual

chair in the center with a photograph of

the same chair and an enlarged copy of a

dictionary definition of a chair K made

this way back

1965 another kind of art is called op

artart this emerged in the 1960 it is

called Optical or op art in short this

was yet another experiment in visual

experience a form of action painting

with the action taking place in the

viewers eye in op art lines spaces and

colors were precisely planned and

positioned to give the illusion of

movement as the eye moved over different

segments of the image perfectly stable

components appeared to shift back and

forth sometimes faster sometimes slower

as the brain responded to the optical

data viewers experienced Sensations

varying from discomfort to

disorientation to

gness one example of an optical art is

made by Bridget Riley way back 1964 this

is called current she used synthetic

polymer paint on composition

board

this time let's talk about the different

contemporary art forms in the form of

installation art and performance art the

20th century also saw the rise of new

art forms aside from the traditional

wands of painting and sculpture among

these were installation art and

performance art installation art makes

use of space and materials in truly

innovative ways while performance art

makes use of the human body

facial expressions gestures and sounds

both speak powerfully about contemporary

issues installation art is a

contemporary art form that uses

sculptural materials and other media to

modify the way the viewer experiences a

particular space usually life size or

sometimes even larger installation artc

is not necessarily confined to Gallery

spaces it can be constructed or

positioned in everyday public or private

spaces both indoor and

outdoor here are some examples of

installation art the first one is made

by Roberto Villanueva bamboo and Runo

grass outdoor installation at the

cultural center of the Philippines that

he did way back 1989 this is called

cordelier

Labyrinth another example is a mixed

media installation made by Santiago Bose

way back 1989 entitled passion at

Revolution next example is also a mixed

media installation made by Sid Gomez

hild dawa way back 1990 entitled go to

room

117 last installation art example is an

outdoor installation made by Edgar

talusan Fernandez in the year 1991

entitled four

masks

materials used in today's installation

art range from everyday items and

natural materials to New Media such as

video Sound Performance and computers it

may be said that primitive forms of this

art have existed since prehistoric times

however this genre was not regarded as a

distinct category until the mid 20th

century and only came to prominence in

the

1970s the installation artist

manipulation of space and materials has

also been called environmental art

project art and temporary art

essentially installation art creates an

entire sensory experience for the viewer

many installations are of a size and

structure that the viewer can actually

walk through them and experience varying

facets of the work in stages some Works

allow the viewer to touch or feel hear

and smell elements that the artist has

Incorporated in the

installation thus there is a strong

parallel between installation art and

theater both Play to an audience that is

expected to interact with and be

affected by the sensory experience that

surrounds

them aside from installation art we also

have performance art it is a form of

Modern Art in which the action of an

individual or a group at a particular

place and in a particular time cons

shoot the work it can happen anywhere at

any time or for any length of time it

can be any situation that involves four

basic elements time space the

performer's body a relationship between

performer and

[Music]

audience here is an example of picture

where performance art is made in

performance art the performer himself or

herself is the

artist

performance art does include such

activities as theater dance music mine

juggling and gymnastics however the term

is usually reserved for more unexpected

avanguard and unorthodox activities

intended to capture the audience's

attention the performer himself or

herself is the artist rather than an

actor playing a character as in a stage

play the performance venue May range

from an art gallery or Museum to a

theater cafe bar or Street Corner the

performance itself rarely follows a

traditional storyline or plot it may be

a series of intimate gestures a grand

theatrical act or the performer

remaining totally still it may last for

just a few minutes or extend for several

hours it may be based on a written

script or spontaneously improvised as

the performance

unfolds and that's the end of the Third
