A Vision of Philippine Art
(Selections from the Purita Kalaw Ledesma Collection)
Ayala Museum and the Purita Kalaw-Ledesma Foundation present A Vision of Philippine Art: Selections from the Purita Kalaw-Ledesma Collection.
Purita Kalaw-Ledesma was a patron of the arts and founder of the Art Association of the Philippines (AAP). What began as a reunion of fine arts graduates of the University of the Philippines in 1947 developed into a professional artists' association. She shepherded the AAP from its infanc, particularly through the difficult years of conflict and controversy between the group of painters who refer to themselves as Conservatives and Moderns.
Selected from the collection are major works as well as casual drawings and studies that reveal the diverse and common aesthetic concerns of several leading artists. The exhibition is also about the character and the crusade of a well-respected and beloved individual in the history of Philippine art in the twentieth century. The gathering of paintings, sculptures, and mixed media works include the early and seminal works of acknowledged masters of Philippine art such as Vicente Manansala, Carlos "Botong" Francisco, Victorio Edades, and Napoleon Abueva.
Purita Kalaw-Ledesma is the principal author of The Struggle for Philippine Art (1974), Edades: National Artist (1979), and The Biggest Little Room (1987), a history of the Philippine Art Gallery, as well as an autobiography, And Life Goes On (1994).
