Development of Painting 
in The Philippines 
In American Period
Introduction 
When the Americans took over 
government of the islands after 
the Spanish-American War, 
they brought with them a new 
source of patronage for 
Philippine artists as well as a 
demand for different subject 
matter.
For example, 
Fabian del Rosa’s paintings 
gained a great measure of acclaim 
during this period. 
Rosa’s work was characterized by 
realistic subjects and a soft, cool 
palette of colors.
Some of 
Fabian del Rosa’s paintings:
"Barcazas en el Rio"
" Young Filipina (1928) "
" Women working in a rice field "
" A remembrance of the Villa Borghese 
"
" El Kundiman "
Another popular artist who got his start 
during the American era was Fernando 
Amorsolo y Cueto. Amorsolo’s paintings 
were idealized visions of the sun-drenched 
Philippine landscape and its inhabitants. 
Amorsolo was the dean of the University of 
the Philippines school of fine arts from 
1952-1955. His work and his leadership at 
the college inspired the development of the 
“Amorsolo School” of painting.
Some of 
Fernando Amorsolo y Cueto:
" Antipolo " 
depicting Filipinos celebrating a town fiesta. 
to illustrate the work of the artist, traditional Filipino 
painting and societal norms embodied in the 
subject of the painting - a town fiesta
Detail from Fernando Amorsolo's 1945 “Defence of 
a Filipina Woman's Honour” 
which is representative of Amorsolo's World War II-era 
paintings. Here, a Filipino man defends a 
woman, who is either his wife or daughter, from 
being raped by an unseen Japanese soldier. Note

A propaganda poster depicts the Philippine resistance movement during the first year of 
Japanese occupation. Following the fall of Corregidor on May 6, 1942, the Philippine guerrilla 
movement provided valuable behind the lines intelligence reports to Allied strategists, as well as 
ambushing the occupying Japanese forces.
Clearly shown in the painting is a guerrilla armed with a bolo knife divesting a Japanese sentry of 
his rifle. Crouched behind the foliage and clutching U.S. issued .30 caliber M1903 series rifles, are 
other members of the force who wait to assist the 11th Airborne force landing in front of the 
camp.
The four-day battle of Bagsak Mountain on Jolo Island in the Philippines took place from 11 to 15 
June 1913. Americans of the 8th Infantry and the Philippine Scouts, personally lead by Brigadier 
General John J. Pershing, brought to an end years of bitter struggle against the Moro pirates.
