• Let’s talk about Contemporary
Arts of our Country during
American Colonization period.
INTRODUCTION
Philippine art history during American colonization is a fascinating and
complex topic that spans from 1898 to 1946. During this period, the
Philippines underwent significant changes, both politically and
culturally, as it transitioned from Spanish to American rule. American
influence in the arts was evident, as the country saw the introduction
of new art styles, techniques, and materials. At the same time, Filipino
artists continued to draw inspiration from their rich pre-colonial
heritage, resulting in a unique fusion of Western and indigenous art
forms.
PAINTERS AND
THEIR MOST WELL
KNOWN ART
Fabian Cueto
de la Rosa
Fabian de la Rosa (May 5, 1869-
December 14, 1937) was noted
for his realistic portraits, genre
and landscapes in subdued
colors. De la rosa is often
considered the brightest name
in Filipino painting and certainly
the most important for the first
quarter of 20th Century.
Planting Rice
• In Fabian De La Rosa’s “Planting Rice”,
Filipino men and women are illustrated,
planting rice in a vast field. Various
colors are present but the color that
dominates the painting is green since
the setting is on a lush green field.
Some of them wear what we call
“bandana” and some of them wear
salakot. It can also be seen that Filipino
women wear the traditional clothes
