    Study Notes

    Notable Filipino Artists

    • Fernando Amorsolo, known for his interpretation of "Philippine Light," used oil as his medium, and his sensitivity to light allowed him to paint luminous skin with an almost felt rush of blood underneath.
    • Vicente Manansala developed his rendition of transparent cubism techniques, which is different from the original cubism pioneered by Pablo Picasso and George Braque. Manansala's cubism has broader facets and planes, bringing out larger rhythms and is closer to Synthetic Cubism. He further developed it into transparent cubism, which shows panels of shapes interfacing each other.
    • Hernando R. Ocampo's style, considered by some critics as the most Filipino, was characterized by abstract compositions of biological forms in bold strokes of colors that seem to oscillate. His subject matters were usually nature's flora and fauna, reflecting the natural beauty of his country.
    • Napoleon Abueva's modernist but Filipino-themed sculptures veered away from the conservatism of his mentor, Guillermo Tolentino, known for sculpting the University of the Philippines "Oblation." Abueva's sculptures kept Filipino themes like rice planters, mother and child, carabaos, and the like.

    Pre-colonial Indigenous Art

    • Characterized by the use of materials found in the immediate environment combining functionality with aesthetics.
    • Art forms are usually connected to traditional belief systems and local values.
    • Clay pottery is one of the earliest forms of ancient art, evidence of artistic skill. Examples include the Manunggul jar from Palawan, the Calatagan jar which displays inscriptions, and the Maitum burial jar, which is anthropomorphic.
    • Other variations are the palayok for cooking, the banga and tapayan, liquid containers, and the burnay pottery of Ilocos.
    • Wood carving is another prominent art form.
