ITS OWN STORY TO TELL. IT FEATURES A BEAUTIFUL PIOUS WOMAN IN

INTROIBO" (1951). OIL ON MASONITE BOARD 71.12 X 55.88 CM. 
"

DURING THE 1930S TO MID-1940S, HIS ART REFLECTED BOTH SOCIAL REALISM AND
FORMALISM WHEN HE OFTEN DEPICTED POVERTY-STRICKEN HUMANITY. IT WAS
TOWARDS THE END OF WORLD WAR II WHERE HE BEGAN TO SHIFT TOWARDS NON-
OBJECTIVISM, WITH HIS WORKS BECOMING MORE FLAT, FIGURATIVE, AND ORGANIC.
ASSEMBLED OVER A PERIOD OF 30 YEARS FROM THE ARTIST’S COLLEAGUES AND
SELECTED PATRONS, WITH SOME PAINTINGS REPATRIATED FROM THE UNITED STATES,
THIS COLLECTION IS ONE OF THE LARGEST PRIVATE HOLDINGS OF H.R. OCAMPO’S
WORK.

Visiting a museum is a fun experience since the atmosphere of the facility

allows a person to enjoy their time while educating themselves. In contrast,
while viewing the works of art through the computer in the comfort of my
own home, I did not feel as encouraged or intrigued to learn about the
works and their meanings. Navigating the museum virtually was unique but
it did have its limitations due to the technology. Additionally, I felt that the
meaning of the art was altered when being virtually observed since the
environment was not the same and the overall presentation of the art was
different. Being in my household prevented me from getting the full
experience because it hindered my ability to focus and fully give my
attention to the task due to nearby distractions. Overall, I personally did not
enjoy the virtual museum tours as much as I thought I would but they are a
sufficient substitute for the time being.
