HIS MASTERPIECE:
SIYAM NA DIWATA NG SINING

This reinforced concrete work

represents the nine muses of art:
architecture, dance, film, literature,
music, painting, photography,
sculpture, and theater.

The nude muses, spread around atop

a ring-like pedestal are rendered in
various stances.

Despite strong formal traces of neo-

classical influences, their relaxed
poses and generous gestures temper
the usual severity that the tradition is
known for.

There is an article on the internet by R.G. Chan & Associates that discusses some of
the Neoclassical and Romantic Architecture during the American colonization in
the Philippines.
Shown below are the pictures of some buildings built that time.
