When politics may not be able, Art and Culture will always be a bridge between countries to connect. Have a look at our book collection, today the book Philippinische Maleri – Philippine Painting.

In 1970, 52 years ago, the Philippine and the German Government joined efforts in creating and publishing a book about Filipino Art. Signed by the then Philippine Secretary of Foreign Affairs, HE Carlos P. Romulo and the German Bundesminister des Auswärtigen, Mr. Walter Scheel, it was the first book about art written in German and English language, a very rare piece.

The book presents insights in the Visual Art Development of the Philippines, from Luna and Hidalgo to Amorsolo, Legaspi and other well-known Filipino artists, including Mabini Artists.

The collector has been in the heart of the German-Filipino social, culture and art scene for a quarter of century, promoting the Philippines. The cultural journey led to the publication of the book REVISITING MABINI ART, launched in 2013 at the National Commission for the Culture and the Arts (NCCA) in Intramuros, Manila.
