"The Lady in Maria Clara, 1971"
Medium: oil on canvas
The Lady, artistically conceived and depicted in the dictum of classicism (example: correct anatomy), sits in the open, flanked by two potted plants, and a tree behind which is unique with its three-layered crown. Subdued is the color range, echoed by the faint smile of the lady. Edades, the icon of modern art in the Philippines, has agrued in this work the timelessness of classical art. As a pictorial image of the Filipinos across time, “The Lady in Maria Clara” is a model of pulchritude by reason of her bearing.

“The Builders, 1928”
Medium: Oil in Canvas
When Victorio Edades came home from the United States of America, he saw that art was stale in the Philippines. It seemed that everyone had grown too fond of Amorsolo’s bucolic, festive, and picturesque scenes and thus academic artwork was the artistic status quo. The 19th century Filipino impressionists seemed to have disappeared; no one has heard of Dadaism, cubism, and surrealism among art circles in Manila. Society was stuck Amorsolo’s paintings that felt worlds apart because they were too perfect. There was no color or texture out of place that could be cause for discussion.
