Splendor

Juan Luna, Painter as Hero

By: Marinella Andrea C. Mina,Ambeth R. Ocampo,Martin Arnaldo,Ditas R. Samson,Marie Julienne B. Ente

This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition SPLENDOR: Juan Luna, Painter as Hero, a multimedia exhibition mounted in celebration of the 125th anniversary of Philippine Independence and Nationhood. The exhibition and accompanying publication aim to capture a watershed moment in our history through the analysis and investigation of the long-lost painting by Juan Luna, Hymen, oh Hyménée! which received a Bronze medal at the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris. Organized around three main themes, namely: the world of 1889, the complex imagery of Hymen, oh Hyménée!, and the painter as hero, the exhibition hopes to be both a fitting introduction to this important cultural treasure and a compelling prompt to revisit our country’s journey to nationhood, amid a radically and rapidly transforming world surrounding it at that time.

Landscape into Painting

Fernando Zóbel, Serie Blanca

By: Ditas R. Samson

With the opening of the newly renovated Ayala Museum in 2021 also came the inaugural exhibition in the new Fernando Zóbel gallery entitled Landscape into Painting: Fernando Zóbel Serie Blanca, which focuses on the peak of lyricism in Zóbel’s artistic practice. While the Serie Blanca period may not have been the ultimate destination in Zóbel’s visual odyssey, this passage was a definite milestone in Zóbel’s mastery over material, form, and composition. This catalogue, which accompanies the exhibition and co-published by Ayala Foundation, Inc. and Vibal Foundation, Inc., features a curatorial essay by Ditas R. Samson expanding the short discussion in the gallery, as well as Rafael Pérez-Madero's interview with Zóbel in the 1978 publication, Zóbel: La Serie Blanca.
