Musée des instruments de musique – Bruxelles Art Nouveau in Philippine Architecture Uy-Chaco Building THE WHITE HOUSE - NEOCLASSICISM THE WHITE HOUSE – NEOCLASSICISM Jefferson announced the competition—which offered a prize of $500 (or a medal of equal value)—and even reportedly submitted a design himself under the initials “A.Z”. In July of 1792, Irish-born architect James Hoban’s submission was selected by Washington, and he was hired to build the White House. President George Washington, who lived in presidential residences in New York and Philadelphia, selected the site of the nation’s capital on the Potomac River for an executive mansion with the help of French architect Pierre Charles L’Enfant, who designed the plan of the city. L’Enfant initially proposed an opulent design for the residence, which would have resulted in a building four times the size of what stands today. He was ultimately dismissed by the three-person committee overseeing the development of the District of Columbia, and his palatial design was abandoned. Instead, Washington and his secretary of state, Thomas Jefferson, decided that the design would be chosen through a national competition. THE WHITE HOUSE – NEOCLASSICISM When was the White House built? Construction began in October of 1792 with the laying of the first cornerstone. “I think it’s critical to recognize that the initial construction of the White House, as well as other early-19th-century projects, like the reconstruction after the burning of the White House…[relied] on the labor of enslaved people, and these laborers [worked] alongside European craftsmen, wage laborers, and African Americans that [were] free to do this work,” says Sarah Fling, a historian at the White House Historical Association. The building was constructed between 1792 and 1800 using Aquia sandstone from the Government Island quarry (also a supplier of stone for the exterior of the US Capitol), bricks made in kilns near the site, and lumber from forests in Maryland and Virginia. The Manila City Hall, built in 1939 and was planned and designed by Architect Antonio Toledo, is one of the oldest neoclassical structures along the area of Padre Burgos St. to Taft Avenue, and although the architecture is very familiar to the neoclassical style, it lacks the common symmetry required for a neoclassical. Chrysler Building, office building in New York City, designed by William Van Alen and often cited as the epitome of the Art Deco skyscraper. The MET is one of the few surviving examples of art deco architecture in the Philippines. The theatre is an example of Philippine art deco for its native designs and carvings. Built in 1931 by Juan Arellano, architect of many Manila landmarks such as the Post Office Building, the Legislative Building, Jones Bridge and among others. Art Nouveau in Architecture Old England building built in Art Nouveau style. Musée des instruments de musique –Bruxelles Mariano Uy Chaco Building, Art Noveau in Manila Located in Plaza Cervantes in Binondo, built in 1914 by Architect Samuel Rowell. The building is so hipster during its day because it was built in the Art Noveau design rather than the usual Neoclassical Style that is so mainstream those days. It survived the war and was bought by the Philtrust Bank. The painting actually fools you, the building being 98 years old already is indeed falling apart inside. Only the ground floor is serviceable as of this time. Of course, Engineering Interventions could be done to strengthen the structure of the building like what was done in the Luneta Hotel but the cost of doing that is prohibitive. ART NOUVEAU a style of decorative art, architecture, and design prominent in western Europe and the US Art Nouveau is characterized by its from about 1890 until World use of a long, sinuous, organic line War I and characterized by and was employed most often in intricate linear designs and architecture, interior design, jewelry flowing curves based on natural forms.

Ocampo magic realism, and environmental art before the World War II. POST-COLONIAL PERIOD Postcolonial art refers to art produced in response to the aftermath of colonial rule, frequently addressing issues of national and cultural identity, race and ethnicity. Philippine Post Modern Art (1970 – 1980s) The support of the Philippine Government for the arts via the creation of the Cultural Center of the Philippines during 1969 gave a venue for all artists to experiment and explore different art medium tying closely to the Post Modern Art Period of the West with Pop Art, Installation Art, Performance Art, dominating the scene. In contrast, social realism became a heavy theme by most Filipino Artist as a social commentary of the problem brewing in the Philippine political and social landscape. Philippine Contemporary Art (1980s to Present) It was on the on-set of the sudden rise of personal computers and new technology created a new art medium for the arts and human expression. But there were also countless revivals of old styles being done. This started a new direction for the arts thus, setting the name momentarily, the Philippine Contemporary Period. MODERN ART Modern art is characterized by the artist's intent to portray a subject as it exists in the world, according to his or her unique perspective and is typified by a rejection of accepted or traditional styles and values. Abstract Innovation and experimentation with form. POSTMODERN ART AESTHETICS Postmodern art is a body of art movements that sought to contradict some aspects of modernism or some aspects that emerged or developed in its aftermath. In general, movements such as intermedia, installation art, conceptual art and multimedia, particularly involving video are described as postmodern. CONTEMPORARY ART’S CHARACTERISTICS Contemporary art as the work of artists who are living in the 21st century. Contemporary art mirrors contemporary culture and society, offering the general audience a rich resource through which to consider current ideas and rethink the familiar. The work of contemporary artists is a 14 dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts, and subjects that challenges traditional boundaries and defies easy definition. Diverse and eclectic, contemporary art is distinguished by the very lack of a uniform organizing principle, ideology, or ism. " In a globally influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically advancing world, contemporary artists give voice to the varied and changing cultural landscape of identity, values, and beliefs. Contemporary audiences play an active role in the process of constructing meaning about works of art. Some artists often say that the viewer contributes to or even completes the artwork by contributing his or her personal reflections, experiences and opinions. ALTERMODERNISM - Altermodern is a term coined by curator Nicolas Bourriaud in 2009, to describe art made as a reaction against standardisation and commercialism, in the context of globalisation Altermodernism is an attempt at contextualizing art made in today's global context as a reaction against standardization and commercialism. Artists are looking for a new modernity that would be based on translation. Today, the translation of cultural values of cultural groups and the connection of those values to the world network are very essential. This “reloading process” of modernism according to the twenty-first-century issues could be called altermodernism, a movement connected to the creolization of cultures and the fight for autonomy, but also the possibility of producing singularities in a more and more standardized world. Altermodern can essentially be read as an artist working in a hypermodern world or with “supermodern” ideas or themes.
