Philippine Paintings during the American Period

The Afternoon Meal of the Workers (1939) by Fernando Amorsolo

The Golden sunlight and the corresponding shadows is proof of Amorsolos genius as an artist. It can
be argued that no other Philippine painter could match his ability to capture gloriously both idealized
(and idyllic) countryside imagery and the awe-inspiring beauty of natures glow and luminescence.
A work of the same subject and title by the artist won first prize in the 1939 New York Worlds Fair by
popular vote.

Antonio's Maiden with Flowers, oil on canvas, 2000. By Marcel Antonio

Antonio's works involve a clear expressionism with mysterious themes, often utilizing fabular images that
combine myth with reality. Seeming stories behind his paintings have also captured mainstream gallery-goers'
attention.
