Biography
Cesar Legaspi was a 20th-century Filipino painter best known for his Cubist-inspired works. Consistently tackling issues of social injustice and the plight of the working classes, Legaspi rendered his paintings using undulating, geometric stylizations of forms. He worked both representationally and abstractly over the course of his career, shifting between more traditional representations of the human figure to more Modernist visual languages. Born on April 2, 1917 in Manila, Philippines, he studied commercial art at the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts before studying in Madrid and then under the French painter Henri Bernard Goetz at the Academie Ranson in Paris. Today. Legaspi’s works are in the collection of the National Museum of the Philippines in Manila. The artist died on April 7, 1994 in Manila, Philippines.
