This early work shows the beginnings of the artist’s
leitmotif of primordial landscapes with the whorls
and crevices opening the imagination to dreamscapes
and netherworlds. The red pallor set against the dark
hued flowers further intensifies the sense of unease
in this painting.

National Artist Ang Kiukok’s distinct
exaggeration of form, this painting
garners attention for its size – Ang rarely depicted

elements, as in the angular forms in this
rare Mania work which presaged her later

his oil on canvas is a fascinating
juxtaposition of tonality and surface. An
opus of contrast, the painting triumphs
in a mastery of balance – the orange

This work is especially significant having been
painted just one year after Joya represented the

idely known for being one of the foremost names in
contemporary Philippine art, this mural-sized magnum opus
by inaugural Ateneo Art Awards winner Geraldine Javier
perfectly illustrates that the accolade is richly deserved.
A commentary on the inherent connection of sacrifice and repentance
within the Catholic religion, Javier’s artwork is constructed to resemble
an altarpiece: red tatting lace connecting three frames, two oil on
canvas paintings depicting towering figures with exposed musculature
and in the middle a mixed media work consisting of a pristine white
dress surmounted by a dove. The Christological reference is not lost
upon viewers, who are reminded of the Crucifixion scene - sanguine
red pointing not so much to suffering as to the act of expunging and
ritual cleansing.

This mixed media work by National Artist BenCab is rendered in the
earthen palette and freehand graphic style of his early period, his paeans
to the underclass and the habitues of his working and living environ being
his key thematic preoccupation.

An uncommon subject of the first National Artist from his Golden
Period makes this work eminently collectible. It depicts Maria
Makiling, a diwata or forest nymph in Philippine mythology invoked
to stop floods, storms and even earthquakes. Seen as the guardian
spirit of the mountain after whom she is named – its silhouette is
said to show the outline of the recumbent maiden – here she is
also portrayed as the protector of its rich bounty symbolized by the
verdant foliage and deer that stands by her side as she dips her foot
in a clear pond. The treatment of the dusk sky with its salmon and
cobalt tones is quintessential Amorsolo.

This early work by National Artist Ang Kiukok bears the strong influence of his close friend and
mentor National Artist Vicente Manansala - in particular its use of transparent and overlapping
shapes. Fish vendors, a genre subject favored by the postwar modernists for its formal and
compositional possibilities, is attributed to Ang’s native Davao and is depicted on the front. Of
great interest are the two carabaos that are painted verso - a common material cost-saving practice
of artists at that time.

in this untitled ink and watercolor,
the horizontal lines and grids giving
form to both the external and the

gazes at an unidentified church’s
façade while at the same time
gazing into its cavernous nave.
National Artist Cesar
Legaspi shows a softening
of his cubist style while
still keeping to his human
figure-worker leitmotif.
Here the master pulls the
viewer’s attention first
to the main subject then
slowly works his way across
the canvas expanse to focus
attention on the boar and
the fish in what appears to
be an imaging of struggle

This painting is the second version of
National Artist Jose Joya’s award-winning
Approaching Storm (1951), which is listed
in the catalogue raisonne as belonging to
the the artist’s collection, but which was
later purchased and is now in an important
private collection. The painting was made
at the request of a distinguished gentleman
from the Visayas, a very good friend of
the artist who commissioned Joya to paint
the exact same work albeit with slight
differences. The frenetic movement of
the carabaos careening headlong against
a growing tempest, a rare surviving work
from Joya’s figurative phase, presages the
slash-marked, gestural application of paint
that would be found in his later abstract
expressionist canvases.

T
he result of a pivotal trip to Europe in 1928 as the Director
of Fine Arts of the University of the Philippines, Casas de
Pescadores en Tondo, was the result of Fabian de la Rosa’s
immersion into French Impressionism. The painting was first
displayed on October 25, 1928 as part of a solo exhibition held at
the Ateneo de Madrid, attended by the highest of Spanish officials,
including Prime Minister Jose Primo de Rivera. A highly publicized
event, Spanish publications such as La Vanguardia, La Libertad and
Diario de Cordoba, announced De La Rosa’s arrival in Madrid and his
upcoming show. A day after the show, on October 26, daily broadsheet
ABC described the seminal show, “The nine artworks showed his
great skill in reacting to employing different techniques in depicting
figures or landscapes. Five portraits showed his intonation towards
color and modern lines. There were two landscapes, the first, Casas
de Pescadores en Tondo, was impressionistic and the second, done in
more traditional style. Two paintings depicted Indigenous Filipinos.”
Casas de Pescadores en Tondo was also given special mention on the
November 28, 1928 edition of the art and lifestyle magazine, Blanco y
Negro, with a published photo of the painting noting the modernity and
harmonious balance of the composition. De La Rosa’s Ateneo de Madrid
exhibition was met with great praise, with the newspaper Nuevo Dia
praising his “technical mastery of color” and calling him a “figure of
importance for the Philippines in the modern art movement.”

Ateneo de Madrid show. On the wall behind the crowd is
a glimpse of Casas de Pescadores en Tondo.
The progenitor of the genre scene, Fabian de la Rosa’s paintings of
everyday life and landscapes were his legacy to Philippine art history.
In Casas de Pescadores en Tondo, now part of a private collection in
Madrid, de la Rosa depicts stilt houses of fisherfolk along a marsh.
The passage strokes along the waterbed are of particular distinction,
as well as the diffused rendering of golden light. Underscoring the
high regard in which the artist was held in European artistic circles,
the only other Tondo landscape from this Madrid show is now in the
permanent collection of the illustrious Prado Museum.

CARLOS “BOTONG” FRANCISCO
GETHSEMANE
O
f exceeding rarity is this jewel of a painting by National Artist
Carlos “Botong” Francisco, which transposes the graphic
elements of his muralist background eschewing traditional
perspective through highly gestural figures. A precursor
in theme to his 1960 Stations of the Cross in the collections of the
Far Eastern University and formerly the Salesian community in the
Philippines (now dispersed as individual paintings), Gethsemane is an
exceptionally rare and highly unique work by the master of Angono.
Unlike Botong’s multi-scene murals that involve animated interactions
between several figures, Gethsemane focuses on the singular figure
of Jesus Christ on the foreground. With superlative attention to detail
and the use of dynamic silhouettes, Botong not only succeeds in
conveying a narrative within his work, but he also and more importantly
encapsulates intense emotion that transcends beyond the canvas and
creates an affective connection to the enraptured viewer.
Depicting the Agony in the Garden, Botong paints this moving and
unique portrait of Christ in his final hours before the Crucifixion. This
particular scene shows Him with hands clasped in prayer while looking
upward to the swirling blues and crimson of the heavens. Behind Christ,
as the biblical story conveys, His disciples are seen curled fast asleep,
despite His call to join Him in prayer. The dramatic scene is set in a
place known as the Mount of Olives, and here one sees Botong depict
swirling branches of olive trees in the periphery.
This highly important painting is offered by the family of its original
owner, a successful businessman, patron and friend of the artist, who
used it as the focus of his private devotions. It was finished two days
before Christmas 1958, and is signed on the front and at the back.
Since that time, the painting has not ventured outside of the family
home until it was entrusted to Salcedo.
The artist also designed the heavy wood frame, which features carvings
of the instruments of the Passion, in keeping with the painting’s solemn
subject matter.

Pensive under the glow of the golden hour, Amorsolo’s untitled portrait
of an old woman captures the subject while she is engaged in the most
mundane of tasks––grinding together a mortar and pestle. While on the
onset the frame is seemingly static, the painter gives the moment a
sense of subtle dynamism through the pursing of her lips, the soft grip
of her hands, the way her saya folds over her arms and her longing,
far-­o ff gaze.
