Mabini Art derives its name from Mabini Street in Ermita, Manila, where artists opened art shops after World War II. Existing records show that in 1930 there were none yet of these art shops… The history of the so-called “Mabini school,” which was established after the 1955 walkout by the “conservatives,” can be traced back to their idol, Maestro Fernando Amorsolo. As the first practitioners of Mabini Art, the “conservatives” carried on their style of painting, then called the “Amorsolo school.”
Paco Gorospe, Roger san Miguel and Leonardo Zablan are well known artists of the Second Mabini Artist generation.
The art of the Second Mabini Artist Generation was defined especially to the second generation of Mabini artist in the book < The Mabini ART Movement > published by the Cultural Center of the Philippines, based on the M.A. thesis of Tan, Pearl E. Mabini Art: History, Practice and Aesthetics. Diliman, Quezon.
Pearl E. Tan is Associate Professor of Art Studies at U.P. Diliman and has a Ph.D. in Philippine Studies. Her doctoral dissertation is entitled Pahiyas: San Isidro Ritual as Tradition and Touristic Festival.
