Joel Malixi, MD
Curator For the León Gallery 16th Online Auction, we have medical practitioner
and design consultant Joel Malixi on board. Beyond his dedication to the
medical field, his passion for collecting antiques and his eye for the finest
objet d’art is indisputable. His wide knowledge on these sought-after
items, reflected in this exciting collection, is enriched by his antique-
hunting adventures in the antique shops of Mabini.
Dr. Malixi is also the co-administrator of Philippine Heritage Furniture,

the widely known Facebook page where one can find and participate in
engaging discourses on local antiques and heritage furniture aged one-
hundred years or older. He moderates discussions not just on elegant
Philippine furniture pieces but also on other art-related topics.
Influenced by the revered Filipino abstractionist Jose Joya, he started

immersing himself in the art world when he was only a medical school
student. The complexities of fine arts complemented his continuous
search for knowledge and pursuance of brilliant ideas. When he was
already a practicing physician, his collector friends led him in becoming
an antique enthusiast and avid collector.
How artworks and antiques add color to everyday life is what Dr. Malixi
strives to show to all kinds of clients. With an innovative approach and a
merry spirit, he has cultivated an eclectic style in each on-point mix-and-
match design selection and has become a celebrated tastemaker in his
field of expertise.

One cannot examine modern art in the Philippines without

crossing paths with Zobel, whose art not only helped
shape modernism in the country but also impacted a whole
generation of artists. As an artist, Zobel’s style fluctuated
between his more figurative style that pervaded the 1950s,
to his abstract expressionist works that began in the 1960s.
His artistic development served as an inspiration for other
Modernists to continue to break boundaries through rigorous
creative experimentation.

Legend has it in Philippine mythology that Bernardo Carpio is

the cause of earthquakes. There are many versions of the tale on
Bernardo Carpio, from the stories and long narrative poem—said
to be written by Huseng Sisiw or Jose dela Cruz—to the movie
and play. He is said to be handsome and have extraordinary
bravery and strength, to the envy of the creature in the forest
who plotted a plan on how to dethrone him from fame.
National Artist Carlos “Botong” Francisco depicted this character
through his drawings and illustrations, published in This Week
Magazine together with the story translated by B.S. Medina Jr.
The Tikabalang, on the other hand, is a testament of how drawn
Botong is to anything Filipino, of his nationalism.

FINE ART & ANTIQUES
The great Fernando Amorsolo is widely celebrated mostly for his idealized paintings of idyllic settings and scenes,
but he is more than just a painter. A versatile artist, the National Artist was also a comics illustrator during the
early days of his artistic career. He was the one behind the hilarious illustrations in the Kiko and Angge comic
strip, written by Tagalog novelist Iñigo Ed Regalado and published in the weekly news magazine Telembang that
circulated from 1922 to 1924. The first regular comic strip in the Philippines, it delved on socio-political issues
during the 1920s. Amorsolo’s illustrations are highly satirical, in contrast with his romantic paintings, showing
another less-known yet noteworthy side of this master artist.

I n an interview, Lydia Velasco said: “I paint what I

know best—a woman of substance.” She focuses on
women as a subject matter, asserting their confidence and
resilience, also stemming from her personal experiences
in male-dominated environments. Velasco finished her
fine arts (major in Advertising) degree at the University
of Sto. Tomas and worked under Cesar Legaspi and H.R.
Ocampo. Even during this time, she’s already inclined
toward women figures. Velasco’s women have expressive
eyes, arresting facial features, mysterious gazes, and
body structures that reveal both grace and strength of a
woman. Strong is the perfect word to describe the distinct
aesthetic of her women subjects, depicted in such a way
one gets to see their deep understanding of personal
experiences, sensuality, strength of character, and worth. 41

Portrait

25” x 18 1/2” (64 cm x 47 cm)
P 70,000
Victorio Edades’ portraits are significant parts of his oeuvre, as these

reveal his modernist approach to portraiture. Far from the traditional
Amorsolo portraits with idealized, flawless, and regal subjects, Edades
created portrait sketches and paintings that challenged the romantic
depictions of the Amorsolo School.
Imitation and faithfulness to exact human features are not the main
emphasis in his works but the medium’s materiality. Edades also focused
on portraying the simple everyday folk with proportions that resist
classical composition and measure. It is the subject’s presence that gets
strongly sensed by the viewer upon encountering his works.

A Signature Folk-Style Coloration

Norma Belleza (b. 1939)
Gold Fish Vendor
C elebrated woman artist Norma Belleza’s works are feasts to the eyes, accessible
and abundant in patterns. Her earlier works have darker, somber colors, and
later on, she utilizes a brighter palette. Either way, her techniques exude vibrancy
signed and dated 1986 (upper left)
oil on canvas that uplifts the viewer. The native features of her subjects are also notably distinct;
30” x 42” (76 cm x 107 cm)
her figures appear resilient in everyday survival. As local scenes are colorfully
P 100,000 depicted, the subjects—often peasants, women vendors, and potters, among other
common folk doing rural activities—show inner strength and joy.
These featured paintings are examples of Belleza’s works that showcase a vendor
scene with the archetypal local features. The patterns add more character, also her
signature color technique used which is something Belleza is usually known for.
Here, one sees her folk sensibilities and artistic efforts to depict Filipino women
through stylized figurations.
Belleza graduated with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts at the University of

Santo Tomas in 1962. Her works are exhibited and featured in many art books,
magazines, and journals. A recipient of the Araw ng Maynila Award for Painting,
also representing the Philippines in the first ASEAN Symposium on Aesthetics
Workshop and Exhibition, Belleza is included in Thelma Kintanar and Sylvia
Mendez Ventura’s book, Self-Portraits: Twelve Filipino Artists Speak.

As one of the figureheads of Filipino Cubism, Romeo Tabuena elevated ordinary scenes to symphonic heights, largely due to
repeating forms and patterns that are central to his composition. In these modest yet striking pen on paper depictions of a
mother and child, one can clearly see his signature use of Cubism to a degree of utmost mastery. Each line, form, shape, and
figure is delicately rendered with Tabuena’s meticulous eye for detail wherein no aspect of the piece is without use nor place.

Pilot-turned-artist Lino Severino’s best and most-known

works are his detailed depictions of old stone structures
in the province, from Ilocos Norte and Vigan to Iloilo,
nostalgic interpretations in their former glory. He was also
able to capture the nostalgia of grand ancestral homes in
Silay, Negros Occidental, which is dubbed as the “Paris of
Negros” and where he was born.
The power of memory is at work in his pieces, all

rendered in close detail, bringing stone and wood
features back to life with the knowledge on the
ephemeral nature of what surrounds us. His works also
serve as reminders to the viewers to appreciate the rich
beauty of our present architectural wonders before these
become part of history.

There is an inherent childlike wonder at play in the

works of visual artist Manuel Baldemor. This piece
is one of the purest examples of Baldemor’s global
village style, wherein he uses increasingly brilliant
colors. In these villages, the subject is underplayed,
though not forgotten, in favor of composition and
design. From the bright yet controlled use of a
primary palette, to the shimmering motifs that dot
across his canvas, Baldemor’s cityscape lends itself
to a universal nostalgia that warms the heart and
soothes the soul.

Expressive Painterly Figuration

Oscar Zalameda (1930 - 2010)
Portrait of a Lady
I n this portrait, Zalameda uses his signature abstractionist technique to create a
figurative depiction of his subject matter. This is a clear departure from the canons
of Filipino portraiture whose foundations can be found in the works of Luna, Hidalgo,
ca. 1970
signed (lower right) and Amorsolo. Instead, Zalameda draws upon both his signature stylistic disposition
oil on canvas
and his creative ingenuity as an artist to effectively produce a stunningly refreshing
33” x 28” (84 cm x 71 cm)
oeuvre. The artist’s use of color, which appropriately reflects his inclination for
P 120,000 abstraction, is masterfully applied in order to not only reflect tone or luminance, but
direction, flow, and balance as well. Though dappled with an overt amount of blue,
Zalameda’s meticulous eye maximizes the color’s potential by applying subtle shifts
of color that produces profound differences in form. From the woman’s scarf to her
dress and to the work’s background, nothing in Zalameda’s painting feels out of place
or forced. The work showcases Zalameda’s flexibility as a master of the arts and as a
creative luminary.

Faces of men and women with penetrating gazes in their seemingly anguished and pained state pervade Onib Olmedo’s
works. Considered ahead of his time with his unique expressionist style, Olmedo excellently captures emotions, states
of mind, and the complexity of the human condition through distortion and exaggeration of features. Balance and
proportion are still achieved even as he challenged classical representations of the everyday man in portraits. The shock
value of his works are often certain. His aesthetic and techniques continue to influence other Filipino artists, and his
artistic legacy lives on among art enthusiasts and collectors.

the artist confirming the authenticity of this lot
T he works of visual artist Marcel Antonio are rich in

descriptive elements and narrative layers, and his subjects
show how humanity is faring in a challenging world with pressing
conditions. Depicting the sitting woman with distinct poses and
facial features that show boredom, ennui, loneliness, and longing,
among other emotions, is also one of the more specific things
Antonio is known for. Now a revered mid-career Filipino artist, he
continues to render humanity with a sincere exacting approach
in his narrative and pseudo-narrative figurative paintings. In this
particular work, the sitting woman seems to show both random
contemplation and lack of excitement in a disposition relatable
to many. Suggestive are the woman’s pose and the overall
composition and elements.

Not only is Anita Magsaysay-Ho the only female artist

amongst the legendary Thirteen Moderns, but is also
arguably the most sought after and elusive among the
Modernists. This is because, unlike her fellow painters,
Anita often painted for family and friends, with her works
acting as gifts. Thus, she never fully developed a sizable
canon that could rival her fellow peers. Nonetheless, the
scarcity of her work is indirectly proportional to their
quality. Anita Magsaysay-Ho has been known to capture
women engaging in various local industries — celebrating
them with her charming flair in their depictions. Despite
Anita’s privileged background, her fascination with
working-class women gave her a certain appreciation for
their toil. She gave praise and honor to the working class,
and did so very easily.

Ofelia Gelvezon-Tequi is a well-known Filipina printmaker learning to accept the transient with the permanent,
in the Philippines. Creating still life paintings is a notable and love them for their ephemeral beauty.” The
part of her artistic development, coinciding with her fleetingness of beauty shows through the colors and
contentment of domesticity. She describes her stage in life lines of her still lifes, all the more the urge to capture
of moving from Paris to Limeuil, settling with her partner, moments of stillness while it lasts.

Juvenal Sanso has explored numerous subjects and styles

throughout his decades-spanning career, and while his earlier
works that delve on war and destruction and his distorted figures
are highly valued, his later works of stylized depictions of sweeping
landscapes and seascapes also receive wide praise. As he fills his
works with vibrant and lustrous scenes, his return to nature is
furthermore revealed. With his refined gestural brush strokes, he
has produced profoundly beautiful and poetic works that show his
deep understanding of nature’s ever-changing landscape.

C ebuano artist Romulo Galicano’s landscape works, may it be tonal depictions of the local countryside or
places abroad, are undeniably picturesque and quiet yet powerful. A master of using oil and pastel and a
refined impressionistic style, Galicano is one of the Filipino artists who championed the said style and figurative
art in the Philippines, as his techniques are also influenced by French impressionists like Claude Monet who
captured the light and the subjects’ fleeting changes and moments in his art. Galicano is also a student of his
uncle, the Cebuano master artist Martino Abellana. The effects of light and shade are heightened in his works,
and one gets the sweet melancholic feel in his intimate views of nature rendered in its pictorial approximation.
Natural tones are modulated in its intensities and the overall composition evokes liveliness.

Post-war painter and illustrator Hugo Yonzon Jr. catered to

many tastes of collectors. He attributed his versatility and
varied styles—some of his works are semi-abstract—to his
long experience as an advertising artist in which he must
be able to work in many styles to suit the client’s needs.
Yonzon worked long hours, rendering his services in ad
agencies during the daytime and painting commissioned
works at night. Even during free time at work, he created
masterpieces. His detailed paintings of Filipino scenes
and subjects, mostly presenting the common rural folk,
feature happiness and vivid colors. Yonzon also noted
the influence of National Artist Cesar Legaspi in the
compositions of his paintings.

In the first half of 2000, Bacolod-born artist-activist

Mark Justiniani shifted his artistic focus from the
ideological perspective to the questions on the nature
of representing reality and the divide of the virtual and
actual. This was out of his five-year sojourn in the U.S.,
and despite this refocusing of attention, he is still rooted
in his magical realist visual style which is apparent in this
painting. His works are often poetic and illustrative in
nature, engaging at best. In 1994, he received the CCP
Thirteen Artists Award.

A strong force in the Philippine nonrepresentational art scene, multi-
awarded artist Norberto Carating creates works that have deep and
meditative nature. For this work, he utilized the circle, a predominant
universal visual motif that symbolizes both infinity and eternity. Metallic
acrylic is masterfully used on canvas to achieve visual compactness and
elegance in coherence and texture. Later on, this master abstractionist
had his solo exhibit “Lunar Cycle” at the Galerie Joaquin in which both
the circle and the square were used for the series. Carating studied at the
UP College of Fine Arts under the foremost Filipino abstract expressionist
Jose Joya, and he has exhibited his works in Thailand, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Spain, Germany, Cuba, Canada and the U.S.

Renowned modernist Mauro Malang Santos

is definitely one of the widely known Filipino
artists who had an affinity with colors, not
shying away from orchestrating various hues in
his palette. It is in Malang’s evocative palette
selection in which the maturity of his aesthetic
shines through. In his cubist and abstract
preoccupations, Vicente Manansala’s influence
can also be seen. This particular work flaunts
not just his mastery of utilizing the qualities
of his chosen medium and colors, but also his
signature cubist style. It is also reminiscent of his
other lyrical semi-abstracts with religious themes
which he took up since the 1970s.

M acario Vitalis, influenced by European masters out

of his artistic training and sojourns abroad and
finding home in Brittany sometime in 1957, showcased a
dynamic color palette in his post-cubist stylistic evolution.
He also mingled and worked with notable great artists
like Pablo Picasso and André Bréchet. His earlier works are
executed with Cubist Impressionism techniques, featuring
subjects with a textured composition of color and tones.
Genre is not the focus but achieving the evocation of
the subject’s presence set against a brilliantly treated
background, setting his works apart from others and his
approach uniquely his own.

FERNANDO AMORSOLO
Complexities of Timeless Beauty
P ortraiture is often considered one of the oldest forms of

art, and for a good reason. One can say that while the eyes
are considered the windows to the soul, the portrait gives a
fuller picture of the human condition. National Artist Fernando
Amorsolo’s widely sought-after portraits were not blind to
the connotations that came with creation and production of
a portrait. His portraits were a favorite amongst the upper
echelons of Philippine high society, given that a painted portrait
was seen as a noble necessity that showcases a dignified and
classical upbringing. Hence, Amorsolo’s portraits were often
those who belonged to the upper rungs of the social hierarchy,
such as government officials, esteemed businessmen, and
pedigreed members of important families.
The natural complexity one finds in Amorsolo’s landscapes

are also found in his portraits, from his signature use of large
and wide brushwork that infuses his subjects with an affective
nostalgia, to his meticulous rendering of light and shadow
through a technique called chiaroscuro that emulates the rosy
glow of natural light against his subject’s skin. His portrait
studies are also of high value. In 1914, when Amorsolo was
commissioned to produce a large portrait of U.S. President
Woodrow Wilson, he tinged his work with his own complex
personal style, rivaling the great masters of the western world.
Truly, as far as the tradition of portraiture goes, Amorsolo’s
talent and skill has contributed greatly to what the art form has
stood for.

National Artist BenCab confronts the aesthetic of the arresting

lyricism of a bygone era with his depictions of the Filipina. His
fascination with the Filipiniana in documentary fashion shows
through his pictorial and artisanal painterly works that feature
the Filipina. The subjects are positioned in such a way they look
like being photographed without their knowledge, and their
poses and features reflect gestures out of emotional states. The
colors BenCab uses also evoke nostalgia and add character to
his subjects. Brown would pervade his works, noted to be the
main distinct color of his art. Later works are bathed in a more
colorful palette.

landscape and his views of the Philippine countryside are notable for
their solidity of mass, somber color, and brooding atmosphere.
Buenaventura’s art of capturing outdoor scenes and landscapes was

his way of taking stock of his many personal observations in life, be
it inspired by a location or a memory. In a way, his stunning works
were, for him, a personal collection of his own thoughts and feelings
regarding the breadth and majesty of nature itself. His works are
considered one of the best examples of classical Filipino art due to
its stylistic and meticulous provincial character. These have likewise
found an appreciative audience among, from art aficionados to the
common man.

P 30,000
For visual artist Ronson Culibrina’s first solo exhibition

titled “Before Sundown” in 2014 at 1335MABINI,
Makati, he presented his paintings drawn from
Fernando Amorsolo’s masterpieces, the country’s
beloved prominent National Artist known for his
idealized, romanticized renditions of rural scenes and
subjects. For this particular work, Culibrina presents
a reinvigorating appropriation piece in which he
referenced Amorsolo’s woman carrying a pot, adding
contemporary elements rendered with his signature use
of bright colors to highlight objects in a monochromatic
piece. The viewer is lured in both the familiar and the
new—one of the features here is the striped sarong
wrapped around the woman’s body instead of the
waist, another is the absence of the classic sleeves
usually present in Amorsolo’s works. Culibrina, listed
among the 2016 Forbes Asia’s 30 Under 30 in the Arts
Category, is popular for his appropriation paintings not
just drawn from Amorsolo’s works but also from other
great masters’ masterpieces such as Félix Resurrección
Hidalgo and Juan Luna.

The alluring works of contemporary artist Jeho Bitancor are mature, personal commentaries on the Filipino
diaspora, societal themes, and collective experiences. Since his student days, his leaning toward quasi-surreal
imagery and the influence of social realism were already evident. His experiences in the advertising world also serve
as great training for honing his skills in conceptualization and mastering creative processes which are apparent in
the expressiveness of the images that pervade his works. Bitancor’s signature symbology blended with social realist
themes reflect the concerns of the current times, yet dark as his timely works are, Bitancor still imbues hope, often
through the presence of doves and the sense of flight of his figures from present plight.

One of the pioneering voices in

contemporary Filipino abstraction today,
Max Balatbat’s unique take on the
medium showcases both the flexibility
and timelessness of art itself. His style
documents the hidden crevices of human
condition contained within visible spaces
which he depicts through layered patterns
and assemblages. The forms, figures, and
contours of his work, though seemingly
surreal and otherworldly, are inspired by
the hustle-and-bustle of everyday life. For
Balatbat, inspiration is everywhere, one
must just learn how to look for it.

Social realist Thomas Daquioag’s works serve as

commentaries to Filipino culture and contemporary
society. The artist is known for depicting the common
man as someone possessing superpowers, posed as
resilient heroes. He also taps into collective or shared
experiences, from political and pop culture trends to
world history and mythology. Viewers are reminded of
past glories and notable periods by his affinity toward
memory and a sense of nostalgia that show in his works.

Unique combinations of figurative forms and

motifs are apparent in Ronald Ventura’s engaging
sculptures. He has produced contemporary art
works that have become highly recognizable images
in the Southeast Asia art scene, fusing cartoons
and hyperrealism with elements of history and pop
culture. He is also a pioneer of creating sculptural
pieces that combine animal and human features
in the country, effectively creating an artistic
equivalent of the famed mythological beast: the
Chimera. Ventura’s use of different techniques in

‘CAUSE IT’S KAWS

Collectible for All Ages
Born in 1974 in New Jersey, Brian

Donnelly, most commonly known as 521
KAWS, is a multi-faceted contemporary Brian Donnelly (KAWS) (b. 1974)
artist based in New York City. He earned KAWS HOLIDAY Hong Kong
his bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Limited Plush Set
the School of Visual Arts and then began 2019
working as a freelance animator for Multi-color
Disney where he worked on a number of 20” (51 cm) each

and Daria and Doug.
Although he works with and on a variety of

media, KAWS was first discovered through
the iconic limited edition toys and figurines
he produced in the 1990s. His original
creations took the world by storm, landing
him A-list commissions to design for
prominent clothing brands and designers
such as Kung Faux, Commes de Garcon,
Vans, Nike, and Uniqlo.
His fascination with the popular and

illustrative style of the cartoon world
and animation led him to challenge the
definition and distinction between “high”
and “low” art by infusing his commercially
viable style with the connotations of fine 522 523

KAWS’ playful yet refined aesthetic, rife

with humor, irony, and commentary,
has not only captured the attention of

National Artist Jose Joya is mostly known for his abstract

paintings, but he is also celebrated as a versatile artist
who expanded his creative development by producing
sculptures that transcend foreign influences, valued for
its charming elaborate details. Joya has rendered forms
inspired by nature as well, as seen in this 1980 wood
sculpture of a shell. The title fits the piece that perfectly
presents a sense of home, protection, and safety. His
artistic explorations influenced a generation of young
artists in delving into other art forms and utilizing a
variety of techniques instead of sticking into one form
and style.

This piece is accompanied by a certificate issued by the heirs of

Solomon Saprid confirming the authenticity of this lot
Solomon Saprid sculptures have a textured flare due to his excellent

utilization of brass that produced a distinct jagged effect. Regardless
of scale, the respected sculptor adhered to accuracy of form in his
works. Art critic Alfredo Roces described his sculptures as possessing
a “kinetic quality” and a “sense of arrested action.” Saprid refers
to this as “frozen motion,” which became distinctly his. Others also
call his works “live” sculptures. As a versatile artist, there is also
intuition—toward his chosen material, chiefly brass—at work. His
sought-after sculptures are celebrated portrayals of Philippine folklore
as well as historically consequential and religious characters.

In the world of jewelry making, the knot

continues to be a popular motif incorporated
in fine pieces as it signifies different forms
of bonds. The love knot is an example of a
recurring symbol in Renaissance jewelry, and
another is the Celtic knot that represents
infinity. In contemporary jewelry, the knot adds
a feminine touch in its elegance exuded by
the intricate curves and subtle design details.

ighly valued for its durability and
suitability for decorating spaces,
blue-and-white porcelains from
the Qing dynasty have highly impressive
shapes, bold and rich designs, and
artisanal executions of unique patterns.
Elaborate designs define the layout, as
recorded in the history of the celebrated
tradition of Chinese porcelain; in
composition, quintessentially Chinese
motifs were employed. Porcelain painters
of this period may be inspired by foreign
aesthetics yet still created their own
versions of oriented features.
Large blue-and-white porcelains of the

Qing dynasty are also considered amongst
the most characteristic and impressive
products of the said period, highly sought-
after in the West. This pair of temple jars,
placed in carved wood pedestals, present
the magnificence of the Chinese use of
cobalt-blue glaze pigment in porcelain.
Showcased are motifs distinct to the
period, from the Foo dogs, dragon, and
phoenix to the full and wisp clouds,
peonies, chrysanthemums, and waves—all
symbols of abundance.

A Samurai Oyo-Roi
with armor box case
58” x 19” x 20”(147 cm x 48 cm x 51 cm)
P 400,000
The oyoroi, which means “great armor,” was traditionally

worn by mounted samurai since the 10th century in
Japan. In ancient days, it consisted of wrought pieces of
steel attached with an elegant thread used to sew iron
pieces called odoshige. Highly functional sets available in
the present such as this one capture the main features
of the samurai oyoroi, from the C-shaped section that
encases the torso to the separate plates and panels that
protect the warrior’s body parts. This full-sized authentic
oyoroi showcases the chief characteristics that made this
kind of armor best suited for fighting on horseback with
one’s bow and arrows in the past. The variegated colors
and elaborate patterns capture the spirit of past Japanese
fighters in ultimate fashion.

The salakot is commonly associated with the farmers and other

common folk, but history notes that the wealthy Filipinos and
mestizos, including the members of the principalia, would wear this
iconic traditional headwear. One of the symbols for Filipino identity,
it served as an indicator of status in local cultures. Salakots made
of more prized and valued materials such as tortoise shells are also
worn by the ruling upper class, adorned with ornate details made of
brass, silver, and gold.
Embellished salakots are remnants of the later part of the Spanish

era when the custom for decorating it started to develop. This rare
helmet-shaped pointed salakot is made from tortoise shell with brass
overlay and has a rattan inner weaving, elaborately decorated with
895 foliate and butterfly details. Its features capture the descriptions
A Tortoiseshell-clad Salakot with Silver Appliqués of the well-formed salakots during the Spanish Occupation—
tortoiseshell with silver overlay specifically during the 19th century—that have an inner headband
H: 8” (20 cm) and a chinstrap, meticulously made from the best, rarest, and most
D: 10” (25 cm) exotic materials.

One of the leading Neo-Realist painters, National Artist Vicente

Manansala is known not only for his entrancing landscape and genre
paintings done in his signature transparent Cubism, but also for his
works in which social commentaries are featured. As a visual artist
who witnessed grim realities in Philippine history and the socio-
political scene during his time, Manansala rendered works with a
social realist sensibility through a darker, more somber palette.
A great example would be his Madonna of the Slums, an iconic

masterpiece widely appreciated and studied for interpretation. This
rare book celebrates these brilliant works of Manansala as well as
his birth centenary in 2010. It showcases colored photographs of
Manansala’s paintings rich in socio-political elements, highlighting
works that furthermore make him a highly significant figure in
Philippine art.

With its decorative motifs that capture cultural images

and symbols, among other distinct ornamental shapes,
Chinese blue-and-white porcelain is indisputably iconic in
the world of antiques. Blue-and-white porcelain became a
sought-after mainstream during the Ming Dynasty and at
its peak in popularity and excellence in artisanship during
the Qing Dynasty.
Chinese pottery is also credited for influencing European

pottery later on; beautiful and elegant porcelain was
considered a symbol of wealth. To this day, the thrill of finding
exquisite porcelain pieces is evident in auction houses and
antique shops. Knowledge on the history and other records of
these valued antiques is all the more important if one wants to
1006 be a wise collector who is more acquainted with the traditions
Two Books on Chinese Pottery and innovations of its development and rich repertoire of
a) Blue and White Porcelain of the Ming and Ch’ing Dynasties designs. These two books serve as great references to all kinds
b) Chinese Blue and White Porcelain of Chinese porcelain collectors and enthusiasts on the search
for the finest pieces.

Hermes Burgundy Togo Leather 40cm Kelly Bag
P 175,000
Although officially produced by the luxury goods maker in 1984, the idea
and concept of the Kelly bag, Alfred Hitchcock has been credited with
bringing the handbag into the limelight. In 1954, Hitchcock allowed the
costume designer Edith Head to purchase Hermes accessories for the film
To Catch a Thief, starring Grace Kelly. According to Head, Kelly “fell in love”
with the bag. Within months of her 1956 marriage to Prince Rainier III, the
pregnant Princess of Monaco was photographed using the handbag to shield
her growing belly from the paparazzi. That photograph was featured in Life
magazine. Although the handbag instantly became known as the Kelly bag,
it was not officially renamed until 1977.
The Kelly base is made out of finely worked leather, giving it its elegant and
sophisticated finish, but is also complicated by a metal lock-and-key system
designed to give its owners ease-of-mind no matter the situation. The bag
also features a handle and must be held as such, showcasing its durability.

Hermes Bolide handbag in yellow epsom leather
P 140,000
For the Hermes aficionado, the Bolide has been a longtime favorite
and fashion staple. Created in 1923 and named after the 16th-century
word for “meteor,” Bolide was the first-ever handbag in which a zipper
is incorporated, becoming an iconic bag together with the Birkin and
Kelly. Highly functional and timeless in design, this Hermes Bolide
handbag is made of the popular Epsom leather with beautifully rigid
and structured features.
This leather type is highly resilient to dirt and scratches, suitable for everyday
use. The gleeful, vivid kind of yellow that this designer bag presents was
featured in Hermes’ 2013 Spring Summer collection. Initially, the Bolide was
named the “Bugatti” due to its large size yet still fits perfectly in spaces and
notable functionality, perfect for travel. It furthermore placed Hermes as a
top producer of classic bags that are designed with mobility in mind.

WALLACE CHAIR IN LEATHER
1111
Jean-Marie Massaud (b. 1966) Born in 1966, Jean-Marie Massaud is a critically acclaimed French
Poliform Wallace Chair in Leather by Jean-Marie Massaud architect and designer. Massaud graduated from the École
structure: flexible moulded polyurethane nationale supérieure de création industrielle, which is France’s
base: painted metal, black leading design school founded by two of the country’s pioneer-
seat leather color: gray soft leather ing modern architects Jean Prouvé and Charlotte Perriand. After
H: 29 3/4” (73 cm) completing his education, Massaud quickly made it to the top
W: 78 3/4” (200 cm) as one of France’s leading new designers. In 2000, he launched
D: 33 3/4” (86 cm) Studio Massaud in order to expand his expertise and to reach out
to new talents, clients, and collaborations. To this day, Massaud
P 80,000 and his works are at the forefront of design and architecture with
numerous collaborations with top-bill clients and brands such as
Dior, Renault, B&B Italia, Baccarat, and Mizuno.
Massaud himself states that he via intuition. Every square-inch

of each of his designs are predicated by an intrinsic and artistic
gut-feeling that guides both his body and mind. Hence, Mas-
saud’s designs are always a cut above the rest, given that he does
not create based on trends and fashions. Instead, starkly original
works are seen as pioneering masterpieces that others take
inspiration from. His works are contemporary in the truest sense
of the term, meaning that not only are his designs original, but
revolutionary as well.
Massaud’s lifelong quest for synthesis, lightness, and reduction

partly comes into fruition through his Chaise Lounge Wallace. He
contrasts the solidly built frame fashioned out of a durable nickel
alloy, with delicate and meticulous upholstery that mimics the soft
Jean-Marie Massaud lavishness of the lazy afternoon sky. Massaud’s work effectively
combines artistic integrity with reliable functionality.

Osmundo “Omeng” Esguerra is a self-taught craftsman

from humble beginnings who is considered a pillar of
Filipino furniture and hardwoods. He handled tropical
hardwoods such as molave, kamagong, and narra
with such excellence that he left a lasting legacy to the
Philippine wood furniture-making scene. The art dealer-
turned creator of wood pieces treated as art catered
to the refined tastes of affluent clients; he was also an
expert in antique restoration, the one behind the antique
shop Osmundo Gallery. Later in life, Esguerra studied
woodturning, as he strives to further understand his
chosen material, bringing out beauty and the right shapes
and utilizing its qualities. His son, Edwin Esguerra, notes:
“While we tend to favor foreign brands, he was the
vanguard of Filipino furniture and hardwoods.”

he continues to strive in achieving
this, raising the level of functionality
without compromising the greatness
of design. Through the years of
furniture making, Reyes has taken on
the challenges and restrictions that
wood imposes and created brilliant
designs with organic and irregular

of art. He had to quit school—he took
architecture, then later on, fine arts at
the University of the Philippines—due
to lack of money, and to make a living,
he reworked objects from thrift stores.
During the 1990s, he started designing
furniture, upon moving to Antipolo to
start a family with his wife Carina. He
searched for secondhand hardwoods
and materials from demolished homes to
create conceptual furniture pieces.

Formal European clothing, especially woolen clothes,

must be stored properly as the material attracts moths
that damage the cloth with holes. Formal clothes during
the colonial period were also taken with great care as
important occasion calls for formal wear. Storage became
a concern, hence the efforts of keeping clothes in chests
or cabinets made of cedar—a material with a certain
fragrance moths fly away from, also ideal for paneling and
carving with its reddish color. Good thing that the country’s
forests is rich with Philippine cedar or kalantas.
The kalantas chest was also used for traveling, hence

Cross-stitching is often regarded as one of the oldest known artforms in the world.
Traces of needlework can be found as far back as the 6th Century B.C., while
decorative embroidery documenting famous myths and stories adorned the walls
of historically important places such as the walls of ancient Egyptian palaces to
the sacred halls of European monasteries. Thus, the practice of cross-stitching and
needlework was seen as a noble affair and was passed on as such. This particular
piece does not only presuppose an elegant, educated, and dignified lineage, but
also showcases the artist’s meticulous craftsmanship but also their respect for their
culture’s history and aesthetic.

The iconic "mesa altar" or altar table has been a staple of local Filipino
design ever since the 1600s. The altar is often regarded as one of the
earliest examples of traditional Filipino furniture, with the earliest records
of it being linked to Ming dynasty table designs. These then morphed into
the more familiar styles during the end of the 17th century in order to
meet the demand of the growing number of churches along the Spanish
settlements. Despite this, the mesa altar still retained its oriental roots
through its carved legs and ball-and-claw feet. A high point of the mesa
altar was reached in the mid-1700s, wherein the tables were fashioned
out of black kamagong wood, an indigenous hardwood, with three to
five drawers, delicate pierce-work flanges and apron, which are then all
supported on cabriole legs over stretchers.

landowners to merchant families. It survived changing tastes
as its design is timeless in its folk furniture elegance.
