Exhibition: The Mabini Art Movement at CCP | November 28, 2013-February 23, 2014

 * click the image for larger view *

The Cultural Center of the Philippines presents the first in-depth exhibition on "Mabini Art", a genre in Philippine painting that developed in the 1950’s. The Mabini Art Movement opens on November 28, 2013 (Thursday), 6 pm at the Bulwagang Juan Luna.

Identified with artists who set up shops at Mabini Street in Ermita, Manila, the label eventually acquired a derogatory meaning particularly for its highly commercial nature. The exhibit, curated by Dr. Pearl E. Tan, looks into its roots from the conservative school propagated by artists who were taught the academic style at the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts. Her research identified three generations of artists who developed styles and modes of practice that make Mabini Art a distinct genre and movement in Philippine painting.
