The country had its first National Artist in Fernando C. Amorsolo. The official title โGrand Old Man of Philippine Artโ was bestowed on Amorsolo when the Manila Hilton inaugurated its art center on January 23, 1969, with an exhibit of a selection of his works. Returning from his studies abroad in the 1920s, Amorsolo developed the backlighting technique that became his trademark were figures, a cluster of leaves, a spill of hair, the swell of breast, are seen aglow on canvas. This light, Nick Joaquin opines, is the rapture of a sensualist utterly in love with the earth, with the Philippine sun, and is an accurate expression of Amorsoloโs own exuberance. His citation underscores all his years of creative activity which have โdefined and perpetuated a distinct element of the nationโs artistic and cultural heritageโ.
