visual arts

The term contemporary art alludes to art created today. It very well may be through the type of painting, form in the Philippines, photography, installation, performance, and video art. However, the specific beginning stage of contemporary expressions in the Philippines and on the planet is as yet discussed and indistinct yet numerous art history specialists think about the last part of the 1960s or mid 1970s to be an appropriate gauge.

 

It’s ironic that many people say they don’t “get” contemporary art because, unlike Egyptian tomb painting or Greek sculpture, art made since 1960 reflects our own recent past. It speaks to the dramatic social, political and technological changes of the last 50 years, and it questions many of society’s values and assumptions—a tendency of postmodernism, a concept sometimes used to describe contemporary art.
