Bryant's words seem to describe the artistic journey of Manuel Rodriguez, 95 years old New York-based Cebuano, a pioneering visual artist who revived printmaking as a major art form which led to the graphic arts movement in the Philippines.

At the lawn fronting the fountain were more white parols in varied sizes, installed on bamboo poles of varied heights. The holiday décor was stark and simple, yet it was very breathtaking and quite succinct in its cheerfulness and optimism that bright days are ahead for the coming year.

Entitled Mirror-ed Images, it is a group show featuring fine prints done by contemporary Filipino printmakers, bookended by no less than the Father of Philippine Printmaking himself, Manuel Rodriguez Sr., or Mang Maning, as he is fondly referred to, on one hand, and two emergent young printmakers, Tita Rosel and Cha Rodrigo, on the other extreme.

                    [Summary] => 
Printmaking being a highly technical medium requires ample training for the artist. As one goes through the process of learning from others, experiencing the medium and discovering new things, he cannot help but have the desire to extend the same to others. Thus, with the collective intention of the Philippine Association of Printmakers to bring printmaking to as many Filipinos possible, Bakat ng Limbag Sining, an NCCA-sponsored outreach project, is brought to realization.

The meeting took place at the fabled Printmaking Workshop in Manhattan, just off the equally famous flat iron building on Fifth Avenue.

Entitled Mirror-ed Images, it is a group show featuring fine prints done by contemporary Filipino printmakers, bookended by no less than the Father of Philippine Printmaking himself, Manuel Rodriguez Sr., or Mang Maning, as he is fondly referred to, on one hand, and two emergent young printmakers, Tita Rosel and Cha Rodrigo, on the other extreme.

                    [Summary] => 
Printmaking being a highly technical medium requires ample training for the artist. As one goes through the process of learning from others, experiencing the medium and discovering new things, he cannot help but have the desire to extend the same to others. Thus, with the collective intention of the Philippine Association of Printmakers to bring printmaking to as many Filipinos possible, Bakat ng Limbag Sining, an NCCA-sponsored outreach project, is brought to realization.

The meeting took place at the fabled Printmaking Workshop in Manhattan, just off the equally famous flat iron building on Fifth Avenue.
