GENERAL CHARACTERISTIC OF CONTEMPORARY ART

Contemporary art is nothing more than the set of a series of different movements, avant-garde, techniques and styles, which resulted in
the so famous and distinctive contemporary art we know today.

This is certainly a more significant junction of various types of art, and so we managed to find a variety of unique styles in it, as
abstract works in black and white and figurative character such as the American Gothic.

It was therefore in the modern period in the early twentieth century that various vanguards were created and presented, then featuring
a unique variety of styles. And this time, the paintings were produced with all types of materials and not just with oil on canvas, for
example. The creations in this period began to become more radicalized, with greater emphasis on the performative character of art as
well as conceptual.

Thus it is also in the midst of the period of contemporary art that the concept and the definition of art also being recognized, as well as
the actions, ideas, objects and materials that could be part of this style.
Difference of Contemporary Arts to Modern Arts

In art, modern and contemporary forms are largely interchangeable. People often use the term modern for describing some art form
of recent times. Actually, this art form is considered contemporary. Modern and contemporary art are art forms of two different times.
Modern art refers to the period that began in the 1880s and that lasted until the 1960s. Contemporary art can be said to be the art that
was developed after the 1960s and is still emerging.

Contemporary Arts in the Philippines

Contemporary art, although a by-word for decades in the Western world, is a phenomenon of the post-war period in the Philippines.
This is not meant to detract from the yeoman efforts of Victorio Edades, Carlos Francisco and Galo Ocampo, who were known as the
Triumvirate in progressive art circles of the pre-war period. The art of these three men was indeed contemporary in intention and
direction, but their role was more needed historical and transitional rather than iconoclastic. A new group was needed negotiate the
actual aesthetic breakaway from the established canon to the abstract, expressionist, symbolist and other modes of creative expression
characteristic of the art of the modern world.

For a while the Thirteen Moderns, a loose grouping which included the three men, appeared to effect the desired seachange, but
somehow they did not have die necessary collective anima. This could probably be attributed to the enervating traumas of World War
II. The iconoclastic role, instead, was assumed by a more dynamic group of six artists whose names are closely associated with the early
years of the Philippine Art Gallery (PAG) in Ermita, Manila: Romeo Tabuena, Hernando Ocampo, Vicente Manansala, Victor Oteyza,
Ramon Estella and Cesar Legaspi.

Three of the Neo-Realists, as critic Aguilar Cruz called them, namely, Oteyza, Estella and Ocampo, were self-taught artists. But they
were no mere Sunday painters. Ocampos paintings, in particular, showed an almost scientific preoccupation with color and design that
nevertheless seemed to spring from a feeling for organic form. A synthesis work entitled Ancestors was shown at one of the annual
exhibitions of the Art Association of the Philippines (AAP), a national organization of artists and art lovers which was founded in 1947-
48.
