Camilo Padilla BSA 3-1
Assignment:
Summary
Cid Reyes is an art critic, painter, and author of several books and at the same time he was a columnist in Philippine Daily Inquirer under Lifestyle. He is a critic to the arts and works of our National Artists. In this work done by Vicente Manansala, a Filipino cubist painter and illustrator who studied fine arts at the U. P School of Fine Arts, he emphasizes through his artworks the sacrifices of our Lord Jesus Christ on the day before he was crucified on the Cross. A good example to us, is how Jesus Christ sacrifice and forgive us our sins through his blood on the Cross. He emphasizes also that we must remember Jesus Christ all the times, as he made his sufferings in the hands of Jews because of his love and to unite his people in this world. All I can say on his works, he is indeed a religious person and Christ believers. Without his belief and strength to the Lord, he cannot come up to this exemplary work. He was very patient while doing this art. As you can see he made about 14 pieces of art with a measurement of 14 feet by 9 feet, and it was finished after one year. And according to the interview, it was made by Masonite, it is a type of hardboard made of steam-cooked and pressure-molded wood fibres. He never get a good money here as Father John Delaney has no enough budget, and the same situation when the project was transferred to Father Ortiz. So, it just a kind of bargaining only, that makes the artist become a hero as he was saying. Now it became murals at the UP Chapel in Diliman, and was declared a National Treasure.
