Fernando Cueto Amorsolo (Filipino, 1892 – 1972)

Amorsolo was sought after by influential Filipinos including Luis Araneta, Antonio Araneta and Jorge B. Vargas. Due to his popularity, Amorsolo had to resort to photographing his works, sticking and mounting them in an album allowing patrons to choose from this catalog of his work. Amorsolo avoided creating exact replicas of his trademark themes by recreating the paintings by varying some elements.

His works later appeared on the cover and pages of children textbooks, in novels, in commercial designs, in cartoons and illustrations for Philippine publications such The Independent, Philippine Magazine, Telembang, El Renacimiento Filipino, and Excelsior. He served as the director of the University of the Philippine's College of Fine Arts from 1938 to 1952.

During the 1950s until his death in 1972, Amorsolo averaged finishing 10 paintings a month. However, during his later years, diabetes, cataracts, arthritis, headaches, dizziness and the death of two of his sons affected the execution of his works. Amorsolo underwent a cataract operation when he was 70 years old, a surgery that did not impede him from drawing and painting.

This photo was taken inside the elevator of Yuchengko in Pasay… for the people who don’t know, Yuchengko is a museum in Pasay, this is where the28 things from our history is placed. Before we went in Yuchengko museum we went first in National45 museum, there is a lot of statue there that is really interesting. I took a photo of every statue there as well… not only statue but paintings and portraits of people from our history like Jose P. Laurel, Ramon Magsaysay, Carlos P. Garcia, Fernando Amorsolo Y. Cueto, Luisa Reyes Vergel de Dios and more people whp gave a part on our history in this country. We had fun inside the museums cause the statue and portraits are really interesting to look at . Now I know why museums are dim inside and the curtains are all close because of the sun rays… cause once the arts got exposed in the sunlight It might get cracks and yellowish due to the formation of free radicals within pigments, Its not allowed to take photo of arts, paintings, and statue with flash it can also affect them and make the arts fade.I saw lots of antique furnitures like sofa set and papers inside the very old boxes. It’s nice to see such things cause it makes me wonder and amazed at the same time on how the people survived the things that are used from the past. Me and my friends took a lot of photos inside of every museum we went and we really enjoyed our time there together while talking and wondering about the history of every things inside of the museum. My favorite part inside the museum was the love letter of Jose P. Rizal for all of the women she loved and It really shows in the letters all the sincerity and love she felt for all the ladies that came into he’s life. It’s really nice in the museum and I started to love arts since that day
