EP21: Secrets from National Artist José Joya | Influences, Abstract Expressionism, Filipino Art

ArticulatePH presents Lost Conversations - a series of interviews conducted 50 years ago by publisher, art critic, and artist - Cid Reyes. These cassette tape recordings captured conversations with masters and future National Artists, now digitized and restored by ArticulatePH, and made available for today’s art enthusiasts. Listen to these invaluable sound bites - national treasures transporting us to an era on the brink of a Philippine contemporary art revolution. ***** A generosity of spirit characterizes National Artist Joya, as he freely shares his “trade secrets.” The current generation of Filipino artists has much to gain from his painting techniques and methods. For example, Joya was the pioneer in utilizing industrial materials and housepainters’ tools, a practice that has since become standard and widely embraced by abstractionists. In a competitive art scene, we discover Joya’s humility as he acknowledges his admiration for contemporary “rival” artists, whose influence he readily accepts. What early guidelines directed the artist toward his fate as the highest-priced Filipino abstractionist? Let’s watch all ArticulatePH videos and, on the shoulders of giants, learn how to be a great Filipino artist. #philippineart #philippinecontemporaryart #philippinepainting #philippinesculpture #mastersinart #philippineartscene #philippineartists #philippinegallerists #artists #gallerists #oiloncanvas #acryliconcanvas #art #philippineartandculture #philippineheritage #philippinehertiageonservation #artinspiration #nationaltreasure #jaimeponcedeleon #premierauctionhouse #auction #auctionhouse #auction_star #auction_master #auction #romulogalicano #galicano #inspringstory #inspiring #cidreyes #malang #mauromalangsantos #lostconversation #cassettetape #cassettetapeinterview #interview #master #nationalartist #imeldamarcos #josejoya #joya #abstractexpressionism #abstractexpressionist #collage #lostconversations #cidreyes #melvinmangada #articulateph #nationalmuseumofthephilippines #museumfoundationofthephilippines #mfpi
