Remembering the life and works of National Artist Fernando C. Amorsolo on his 51st death anniversary.

Fernando V. Amorsolo was the first National Artist, with the official title “Grand Old Man of the Philippine Art”. He developed the backlighting technique that became his trademark where figures - a cluster of leaves, spill of hair, the swell of breast - are seen aglow on canvas. His citation underscores all his years of creative activity which have “defined and perpetuated a distinct element of the nation’s artistic and cultural heritage”. His major works include ‘Maiden in a Stream’, ‘El Ciego’, ‘Dalagang Bukid’, ‘The Mestiza’, ‘Planting Rice’, ‘Sunday Morning Going to Tow’, ‘Antipolo Fiesta’ and ‘Afternoon Meals of Rice Workers’.

Greetings to National Artist Benedicto “BenCab” Cabrera on his 81st birthday.

Benedicto R. Cabrera, who signs his paintings “Bencab,” upheld the primacy of drawing over the decorative color. Bencab started his career in the mid-sixties as a lyrical expressionist. His solitary figures of scavengers emerging from a dark landscape were piercing stabs at the social conscience of a people long inured to poverty and dereliction. Bencab, who was born in Malabon, has christened the emblematic scavenger figure “Sabel.” For Bencab, Sabel is a melancholic symbol of dislocation, despair, and isolation–the personification of human dignity threatened by life’s vicissitudes, and the vast inequities of Philippine society.

Celebrate World Theatre Day!

World Theatre Day was initiated in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute ITI. It is celebrated annually on the 27th March by ITI Centres and the international theatre community. Various national and international theatre events are organized to mark this occasion. One of the most important of these is the circulation of the World Theatre Day Message through which at the invitation of ITI, a figure of world stature shares his or her reflections on the theme of Theatre and a Culture of Peace. The first World Theatre Day Message was written by Jean Cocteau in 1962.

This year, the ITI Message was authored by Egyptian Actress Samiha Ayoub.
