The exhibition “Victorio Edades: Birth of a Nation” is on view at Manila’s Ayala Museum through July 29th.
At the 1976 National Artist awarding ceremony, Edades’ formal citation read, “He is the original iconoclast of Philippine art. He changed the direction of Philippine painting decisively… he infused new life into art, opening windows to permit access of ideas from the outside world.”
