The Life and Art of Botong
Francisco
Edited by Patrick Flores
Foreword by Corazon Alvina
With essays by D.M. Reyes, Alice Guillermo, Roberto Paulino, et al.
22.3 x 28.7 cm, Hardbound, 245 pages
Published by Vibal Foundation
PhP 2,300
A
veritable hero in his hometown Angono, Botong Francisco devoted his
life to art. After spending the 1930s immersed in graphic art and
modernism, Botong embarked on large-scale mural painting for which he
became known.
This lavish art book contains the richest array of
Botong's masterpieces, whether in large or small scale. The vast
selection of his most important paintings, sketches, and costume
designs is supplemented by vintage photographs, documents, and film
stills from over 30 public and private collections.
The texts
include an illustrated biography and essays by prominent art scholars
offering interpretations of Botong's life and art. One could not ask
for a more comprehensive study of Botong's body of work.
