Artworks by one artist painting similar subject – let us have a closer look on FISHES.Paco Gorospe (1939 – 2002) was called “A Filipino legend in cubism and modern art from the Mabini School of Art; he was an internationally-acclaimed artist.”
He was also referred to as the “Picasso of the Philippines” due to the European and American influences in his work.
Gorospe’s fishes belong to no particular species. They have colorful scales, bloated bellies, snouts that look like bird’s beaks, or even toad like. They have colorful scales, bloated bellies, snouts that look like a birds beaks, or even toads like.Such renditions are come-ons for such species still to be discovered and fished out. But no matter this does not detract from the fact that Filipinos are generally fisharians.
No Fish suffers from oxygen deficiency. In any environment, their eyes are alert without any hint that their days or even hours are numbered. They could be cheerless environment, on a chopping board, or in an aquarium without plastic foliage. Gorospe substituted visual mimickry with technical innovations.
(Quote of the text from the Book Revisiting ‘Mabini Art’, published in 2013, Germany; Prof. Paul Blanco Zafaralla, PH.D.)
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.” The “Amorsolo school” was identified with the “realism” of Amorsolo in contrast to the “modernism” espoused by Victorio Edades and his followers.
