  • Cesar Legaspi

    Cesar Legaspi

    Cesar Legaspi (1917-1994) National Artist, Visual Arts 1990 One of the Thirteen Moderns Cesar Legaspi, honored as a National Artist in Visual Arts in 1990, is considered the pioneer of neo-realism in the Philippines. Aside from the monochromatic works in his early years, he exploited the full potential of color in his paintings. A proponent of modern art in the country, Legaspi developed cubism in the Philippine context. He was also identified as one of the Thirteen Moderns, a group of modernists led by Victorio C. Edades whose works went against the conservative academic art of that period. Legaspi was born to Manuel Legaspi and Rosario Torrente on April 2, 1917 in Tondo, Manila. He took up painting for one term at the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts before he decided to take commercial art courses instead. There he received medals for perspective and illustration projects. He earned his Certificate of Proficiency in 1936, after which he continued his education in art under Pablo Amorsolo. He went to Madrid in 1953 and pursued Art Studies under a scholarship at the Cultura Hispanic until 1954. He also went to Paris to study at the Academie Ranson for one month under Henri Goetz. Back in the Philippines, he had his first one-man show at the Luz Gallery in 1963. While this led to an active phase with his major pieces, he also worked as a magazine illustrator and artistic director at an advertising agency. He finally left the agency in 1968 to focus on his painting.

The design of the curricula is student-centered, based on spiral progression of processes, concepts and skills and grounded in performance- based learning. Thus, the learner is empowered, through active involvement and participation, to effectively correlate music and art to the development of his/her own cultural identity and the expansion of his/her vision of the world. As Music and Arts are performance-based disciplines, effective learning occurs through active experience, participation, and performance, creative expression, aesthetic valuation, critical response, and interpretation. The skills that are developed include reading/analyzing, listening/observing, performing, (singing, using musical instruments, movement, acting, and playing, using different art materials, techniques and processes, responding, composing, and creating. (See Figure 1 and Figure 2) The philosophical foundations upon which standards and competencies are based include: A Process of Education by Jerome Bruner, Performance-Based Learning by Cleve Miller, Aesthetic Education by Bennett Reimer, Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner, A Structure for Music Education by Ronald Thomas, Gongs and Bamboo by Jose Maceda, Compendium on the Humanities: Musical Arts produced by the National Research Council of the Philippines, Cultural Dictionary for Filipinos by Thelma Kintanar and Associates, Creative and Mental Growth by Viktor Lowenfeld and W.

    The Philippines: Prospects in Business and the Arts

    THE PHILIPPINES: PROSPECTS IN BUSINESS AND ARTS Sponsored by the Philippine Cultural Society (Singapore) In cooperation with Philippine Airlines. 26 TH October 2002, Hilton Hotel I am really happy to be here this afternoon with all my kababayans. I know you will be given a lot of talk about investment opportunities but I like to talk about some smaller investments that you might be interested namely Filipino artists. I can guarantee you that these investments will give you less risk, more enjoyment and the investment amount is very small. I am talking about investing in paintings specifically paintings by Filipino artists. I would like to show you some of the slides of our artists and as much as I would like to show many artists, I am afraid with the short notice and the time constraints, I am limited to what I have that is available. INTRODUCTION For me art is very personal and being brought up in the Philippines, living in the United States and Southeast Asian countries I have witnessed and interacted with many of our artists who are either visiting or working abroad. My views on the subject are probably very different from the rest of the panelists as I categorized the artists in a way that maybe different from academics and art critics. As you may have noticed, we have a great diversity when it comes to art as we have many different groups with many different influences. I am proud to say that we are rich when it comes to art and 1 that we, probably, have as many artists as we have islands in the Philippines.

By seventh grade, his teachers were so impressed with his talent that he was fondly named, "apprentice teacher" in his art class. He was very good in class from the very beginning, having earned several awards in school debates and writing competitions.
