PAINTING

PAINTING
Painting, taken literally, is the practice of
applying pigment suspended in a vehicle
(or medium) and a binding agent (a glue) to a
surface (support) such as paper, canvas, wood
panel or a wall.
However, when used in an artistic sense, it means
the use of this activity in combination
with drawing, composition and other aesthetic
considerations in order to manifest the expressive
and conceptual intention of the practitioner.

Women and landscapes
Amorsolo is best known for his
illuminated landscapes,] which often
portrayed traditional Filipino customs,
culture, fiestas and occupations.

sense of nationhood in counterpoint to
American colonial rule" and were
important to the formation of Filipino
national identity. .
Style and techniques

Women and landscapes
He was educated in the classical tradition
and aimed "to achieve his Philippine
version of the Greek ideal for the human
form." In his paintings of Filipina women,
Amorsolo rejected Western ideals of beauty
in favor of Filipino ideals and was fond of
basing the faces of his subjects on
members of his family.
Critical Evaluation
Amorsolo's supporters
consider his portrayals of the
countryside as "the true
reflections of the Filipino
Soul."
