Explores the life of Isabelo Tampinco, his accomplishments in art, and the influences that molded the style he created. While Tampinco walked with such luminaries as Rizal and Luna, his world was that of the artists of the late nineteenth-to early twentieth century Quiapo and Santa Cruz. Unlike the propagandistas, these artists had not been educated abroad, yet they strove just as valiantly to be recognized alongside their European counterparts. This book contains a comprehensive gallery of Tampinco's extant works, as well as archival photographs of his lost masterpieces.
