Benedicto R. Cabrera, who signs his
paintings "Bencab," upheld the primacy
of drawing over the decorative color.
Bencab started his career in the mid-
sixties as a lyrical expressionist. His
solitary figures of scavengers emerging
from a dark landscape were piercing
stabs at the social conscience of a
people long inured to poverty and
dereliction. Bencab, who was born in Malabon, has christened the emblematic
scavenger figure, "Sabel." For Bencab, Sabel is a melancholic symbol of dislocation,
despair, and isolation–the personification of human dignity threatened by life's
vicissitudes and the vast inequities of Philippine society.

A native of Sulu, Abdulmari Asia Imao is
a sculptor, painter, photographer,
ceramist, documentary filmmaker,
cultural researcher, writer, and
articulator of Philippine Muslim art and
culture. Through his works, the
indigenous ukkil, sarimanok, and naga
motifs have been popularized and
instilled in the consciousness of the
Filipino nation and other peoples as original Filipino creations. His U.P. art
education introduced him to Filipino masters like Guillermo Tolentino and
Napoleon Abueva, who were among his mentors.
With his large-scale sculptures and monuments of Muslim and regional heroes and
leaders gracing selected sites from Batanes to Tawi-Tawi, Imao has helped develop
among cultural groups the trust and confidence necessary for the building of a
more just and humane society.

Painting distorted human figures in
rough, bold impasto strokes, and
standing tall and singular in his
advocacy and practice of what he
believes is the creative art, Victorio C.
Edades emerged as the "Father of
Modern Philippine Painting." Unlike
Amorsolo's bright, sunny, cheerful hues,
Edades' colors were dark and somber
with a subject matter or themes depicting laborers, factory workers, or the simple
folk in all their dirt, sweat, and grime. In the 1930s, Edades taught at the
University of Santos Tomas and became dean of its Department of Architecture,
where he stayed for three full decades. It was during this time that he introduced a
liberal arts program that offers subjects as art history and foreign languages that
will lead to a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts. This development brought about a first
in Philippine education since art schools then were vocational schools.
