    Fernando Amorsolo (1972)

    You can’t talk about Philippine painting without talking about Fernando Amorsolo, who is also known as

    the Grand Old Man of Philippine Art. Born in Manila, he was educated at the Art School of the Liceo de

    Manila, the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts, and spent time abroad in Spain and the

    United States. Lauded for his skill in depicting light and form, Amorsolo is well known for his paintings

    of idyllic Philippine rural life. He rejected Western ideals of beauty and sought to promote Filipino beauty

    instead, and his use of chiaroscuro became an artistic trademark that set his work apart from the rest.

    Some of his most famous pieces include Maiden in a Stream (1921), The Mestiza (1943), and Planting

    Rice (1946).
    Victorio Edades (1976)

    Victorio Edades was a key figure in the history of Philippine art, counted as one of the
    revolutionary Thirteen Moderns and later called the Father of Modern Philippine Painting.
    Edades moved away from the idyllic landscapes of his contemporary Amorsolo and instead
    preferred to paint a more sobering picture of Philippine society. His works employed dark and
    somber colors, and were focused on depicting the dirt and sweat of laborers, factory workers, and
    the Philippine proletariat. Edades became Dean of the Department of Architecture in the
    University of Santo Tomas, later instituting an art degree program. He invited Carlos Francisco
    and Galo B. Ocampo to become professors of the university, and the three were later known as
    the Triumvirate. Included among his works are The Sketch, Portrait of the Professor, and
    Poinsettia Girl.
    Vicente Manansala (1981)

    A master of the style of Cubism, Vicente Manansala is credited as one of the


    figures in the Philippine art world who popularized neo-realism in the country. He
    was educated at the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts, later training
    in Paris, Banff, Montreal and at the Otis School of Drawing in Los Angeles.
    Manansala developed a style called transparent cubism, where he masterfully
    overlaid colors and shapes to depict forms and figures. This style is exemplified in
    his works Kalabaw, Mother and Child, Madonna of the Slums, and Still Life with
    Green Guitar. Most of Manansala’s artistic estate currently resides in Holy Angel
    University’s The Vicente Manansala Collection.
    Cesar Legaspi (1990)

    Another neo-realist and peer of Manansala, Cesar Legaspi was also a


    foremost figure in the refining of Cubism in the Philippines. Also a
    member of the Thirteen Moderns, his work is set apart by his daring use
    of colors, shapes, and themes. Critics have said that his works transform
    the “unfeeling, geometric” order of Cubism into a dynamic, rhythmic
    social expressionism. His works primarily focused on the
    dehumanization and struggles experienced by the working class and
    mendicants in the city. His work is among many that led to the
    acceptance and later popularity of modern art in the Philippines. These
    include Gadgets I, Diggers, Bayanihan, and The Survivor.
    Guillermo Tolentino (1973)

    Guillermo Tolentino is a giant in the landscape of Philippine sculpture,


    and indeed no other sculptor is so widely known, except for perhaps
    Napoleon Abueva. Tolentino studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts
    in Rome before returning to the Philippines in 1925 to teach at the
    University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts. His masterpiece, the
    Bonifacio Monument in Caloocan, was completed in 1933 and
    symbolizes the Filipino cry for freedom. Other famous works include the
    Oblation, now an iconic symbol of the University of the Philippines, as
    well as the marble statue of Ramon Magsaysay at the GSIS Building.
    Tolentino also created numerous busts and statues that can be found at
    iconic sites throughout the country.
