Private Mabini Art Collection -   Land- and Seascapes

Artworks on similar topics and of the same kind by different Mabini Master, here Roger san Miguel, Francisco Paco Gorospe, Rafael Popoy Cusi, Cesar Buenaventura and Gabriel Custodio.

Let us have a closer look at those six artworks on Land- and Seascapes and the artists behind those creations:

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.

More about the artworks of the Mabini Masters

The Philippine landscape is open to the fury and mercy of the elements. Unvisited by typhoons and other natural catastrophes, the Philippine landscape is an Edenic sight from the plains to the hinterlands. … Or it could be a panoramic garden replete with flowers, presented in the manner of Manet, Monet, and the other French impressionists. …


Summer can denude some of the country’s mountains, exposing their red topsoil and pointed peaks. 


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