Mabini Art by Francisco Paco Gorospe


Mabini Art by Francisco Paco Gorospe 


Mabini Art derives its name from Mabini Street in Ermita, Manila, where artists opened art shops after World War II.


A book on Paco Gorospe and Mabini Art in general is needful for a better understanding and appreciation of the development of the history of visual art in the Philippines. Art making, as part of commerce and trade, as well as of arts and culture, helped rebuild Manila after World War II.
