    “The idea was that the depiction of scenes of everyday
    life and the surroundings without idealizing them was
    closest in spirit to the Filipino soul and native soil.”
    - Leo Benesa, Filipino poet, essayist, and art critic

    PHILIPPINE ART AS
    FILIPINO
    When a Filipino artist paints a
    farmer in the fields or writes
    about a fisherman casting
    nets, the subject is Filipino.
    But the medium of expression
    should portray the subject as
    true to what it is in reality.
    PHILIPPINE ART AS
    FILIPINO
    Benesa describes Amorsolo
    works as the
    “most expressive of the ethos
    of the race and the
    predominantly agricultural
    countryside”
    Men and women are portrayed
    as hardworking with smiles on
    their faces.
    Landscape in Amorsolo’s
    paintings are rural lands in the
    Philippines, vegetation and
    nature.

    FILIPINO-NESS
    Study these two paintings by Fernando Amorsolo and
    Leonardo Da Vinci and answer the questions that
    follow:
    a. What do these paintings share in common?
    b. How differently did Amorsolo treat the subject?
    c. What makes the Palay Maiden truly Filipino?
    PHILIPPINE ART AS
    FILIPINO
    Many art critics still doubt the
    Filipino-ness of the artworks
    produced by Filipinos.
    Tradition where works and
    artists came from makes one to
    question its authenticity.
    For example, our painters
    learned Western painting
    tradition (canvas, paintbrush,
    easel) blemishes the
    authenticity of the Filipino
    works.
    PHILIPPINE ART AS
    FILIPINO
    In Philippine literature written in
    English, the language itself doubt
    the Filipino-ness of the literary
    work.
    Many regarded the works written
    in Filipino or regional languages
    more Filipino than in English.
    But as Filipinos learned and adapt
    the usage of English usage,
    regardless of language, is truly
    Filipino.
    PHILIPPINE ART AS
    FILIPINO
    The identity of the Filipino
    arts is constantly changing,
    struggling and evolving.
    Filipino artists try to bring the
    nation’s experience and
    talent in the global arena.
