| Summary |
A series focusing on Asian visual artists and their work. Be amazed by the vibrant art from Asia as academic and writer Alison Carroll goes directly to the source, talking with artists from Asia and Australia in their studios. We visit museums, including their storerooms and vaults, where Alison reveals key works from the 20th century that led Asian Art to where it is today.In the 1940s in Manila a debate raged in the daily press about Modern art. Victorio Edades wanted to find a way "to blend and integrate all our impressions with our Oriental heritage and traditional Christian culture". The Spanish had been in The Philippines for so long that Catholicism was a tradition for them. Edades and his fellow artists also turned to pre-Hispanic imagery, inspired by the work of the Mexican muralists, particularly by the works of Diego Rivera. The sea trade routes to Philippines (and on China) went via South America, and ideas flowed with them. Alison Carroll talks with Filipino artist Nune Alvarado about the relationship between politics and the Catholic imagery in his artwork.Interviews in this episode:Nune Alvarado - Philippines |
