Artworks on similar topics and of the same kind by different Mabini Master, here Paco Gorospe, Roger san Miguel, Oscar Ramos and Rafael Popoy Cusi.


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.

(Quote from Prof.Tan from the book The Mabini Art Movement, published in 2013)

More about the artworks 

View and enjoy, and perhaps even smell the flowers, at our floral art collection from the masters!

"Bottles, flower vases, jugs, toys, whatever, count among the items in the series of still-lifes. Presented either realistically or in Manansala´s transparent Cubism, some are decorated with designs that attest to the early Filipino´s contacts with their fellow Asians across the millennia.

Surely such objects and designs have enriched Philippine art and culture in the large."

(Quote of the text from the Book Revisiting ‘Mabini Art’, published in 2013; Germany; Prof. Paul Blanco Zafaralla, PH.D.)
