Filipinos that proliferated the Filipino talents in

FERNANDO
AMORSOLO
FIRST NATIONAL ARTIST
 FERNANDO
AMORSOLO
One of the most important artists
in the history of painting in the
Philippines. Amorsolo was a
portraitist and painter of rural
Philippine landscapes. He is
popularly known for his
craftsmanship and mastery in the
use of light.
 DALAGANG
BUKID
The "Dalagang Bukid" is one of
Fernando Amorsolo's best-known
paintings. The painting, or rather its
subject, was Amorsolo's attempt to
depict Filipina beauty as opposed to the
typical Maria Clara image commonly
associated with local women
PLANTING RICE
It reflects the arrival of the Americans in
the Philippines and the idealism of the
artist to the Philippine society. The
painting reflected the people's desire to
escape from a complicated reality into
simplicity (Stancheva, 2017).
TINIKLING BARRIO
Tinikling is a traditional folk dance
that originated from the Spanish
colonial period, it was a result of
various cultures, specific influences
from Luzon and Visayas. The
dance often involves two or four
parallel pairs of bamboo poles that
are held by two or more sitting or
kneeling people.
Reflection...
Amorsolo is best known for his illuminated landscapes, which
often portrayed traditional Filipino customs, culture, fiestas,
and occupations. His pastoral works presented "an imagined
sense of nationhood in counterpoint to American colonial rule"
and were important to the formation of Filipino national
identity. He painted and sketched more than ten thousand
pieces over his lifetime using natural and backlighting
techniques. The national honor he got is in recognition of his
significant contribution to the growth and development of the
arts in the country. His works remains an inspiration to budding
artists who came only decades after him.
