Form and Style in Philippine Sculpture

Jose Rizal, aside from being a great Filipino hero was also a great sculptor. Some of his works can still be seen at the Fort Santiago.





Napoleon V. Abueva is a National Artist and one of his most famous work is the Eternal Gardens sculpture.




Guillermo Tolentino was the teacher of Napoleon Abueva and he made the famous Oblation statue of the University of the Philippines.



Isabelo Tampinco is called the Juan Luna of Philippine sculpture.




My great great grandfather, Florencio J., had his works exhibited at the 1904 St. Louis World Fair in Missouri alongside with those of Isabelo Tampinco. His bust of Jose Rizal is now in a dim corner of our house waiting to be restored and displayed. Maybe I'll do it myself when I am older.
