Artworks with similar subjects by three Mabini Artists - Carabaos by Paco Gorospe - Cesar Buenaventura - Gabriel Custodio. Three artists painting similar subjects.
Paco Gorospe was referred to as the “Picasso of the Philippines” due to the European influence in his paintings. “A Filipino legend in cubism and modern art from the Mabini School of Art; he was an internationally-acclaimed artist.”
Cesar Buenaventura was an impressionist with landscapes as one of his major subjects. Being the youngest son of Professor Teodoro Buenaventura, a well-known and distinguished UP School of Fine Arts professor, Cesar was part of the Mabini art scene.
Gabriel Custodio led the Friday Group of Artists who met every Academy of Filipino Artists in 1956, as well as the Talahib Art Group. Many well-known artists sharpened their skills under Custudio’s guidance.
Freedom. Peace.
The carabao is any Filipino farmer’s strong, reliable and uncomplaining companion. It is not a “beast of burden”, as some foreign interlopers made the Filipinos believe but failed.
A child can gingerly sleep atop a carabao helping itself to green grass, its white horns glistening. Or they may be enjoying a brief respite in a muddy open field, their angular bodies emphasized this time. They may even be in clockwise rotation forming an oval, with a singular bird in contrasting colors. Their eyes are wide open at rest, their horns providing the counterpoint to the diagonal foreheads as they face the viewer. Birds are their playmates that enjoy picking the carabaos’ fleas or simply enjoying the warm burst of breath from the animals’ flared noses.
