PRINCIPLES OF ART IN THE FISHERMEN BY KIUKOK
Principles observed
- Geometric Shapes: Patterns of Trapezoids, circles, triangles, angular shapes like octagon, polygons and others
- Movement: The elongated shapes which looks like legs or limbs reaching out to others limbs. Geometric shapes are used in portrayals of humans and other things. The geometric touches were so powerful over time that they often dominated the representational forms, resulting in a more pure level of visual abstraction.
- Emphasis: The Cubist style stressed plane's flat, two-dimensional aspect, eschewing old techniques such as perspective, foreshortening, modeling, and chiaroscuro, as well as time-honored notions that artwork should mimic reality.
- Variety: Colors (bright background to put more spotlight on the limb-like objects in mopotone colors). To avoid distracting the observer from the artist's primary interest—the structure of form itself—they reduced their color schemes to an almost monochromatic scale (tans, browns, grays, creams, greens, or blue were chosen).
Background about Ang Kiukok
- Ang Kiukok, an ethnic Chinese artist who trained under Vincente Manansala, rose to popularity for his Expressionist style, which combined Cubist, Surrealist, and Expressionist elements into a distinct individual aesthetic.
The Fishermen
- The image of fisherman returning from the sea may be a metaphor to the artist's personal trip and spiritual enlightenment. The painting depicts human and fish in an eternal struggle between knowledge and knowledge, with the fish symbolizing latter.
