Sylvia is trying to translate it to German or English, but since it is

Spanish and a bridge's name.
I can´t find it in my Spanish dictionary also. Could it be a Spanish
PERSON´s name? It would make sense to name an important bridge after a
person of public interest.or maybe one of the Spanish residents who first
lived there.
Sir Norman Owen could know something about it. It´s time that this guy

City History Piggy
My father painted a series of Manila's bridges when he was studying in
UP, although my father was American, he found Filipino style of painting
to be to his liking so he studied and his Professor was Amorsolo.
When he became an actor and semi-famous he did the another series, of
the same bridges, I was able to absconed Jones Bridge, my sister got
most of it...Grrr! I love his still life of flowers. The only time he
used a big band of black on his painting.

Your father was a medical doctor who held office in Ongpin.
It was the subject of many short plays in Manila during the early days of
PETA.
Now, I don't know if this battle of Mendiola is included in the Philippine
documentary "Imelda." I suggest that GMA to interfere on the banning of
this documentary. The maker of the film claims it is a documentary . . .
so, he does not need the permission of Imelda Marcos for the exhibition of
the film. Imelda Marcos is news.
Unless, of course, the film maker wants compensation from Imelda Marcos.
Well, who knows. It is still the Pinas.

What is Filipino style of painting? How is it different from European or
American style?
Art Historian Piggy
Ok, that´s the kind of information I was after. You do it almost as good as
Dr. Owen. :-)
So Don Pedro Mendiola was one of the revolutionaries. What made him so
prominent among all the others that an important bridge like that leading to
Malacañang Palace was named after him?

Then post the pictures and maybe we will be able to identify who portrayed

It is easy to post a picture. You don't even have to try it comes easy for
you.
Amorsolo started a style of painting that became popular eventually
becoming commercialized, it is more or less like impressionism, do a
search on Amorsolo.
Romanticised impressionism I guess, where brush strokes are obvious but
not large, but like impressionism you have to squint a bit or better if
you looked at it from afar. The difference is that it is more
realisticly done. Lot of earth tones.

Yes, it looks a lot like impressionistic painting. May I suppose that it´s
the most popular style among Filipinos? I mean, that kind of painting which
average people would like to decorate their house with?

Ah, this would qualify him to give his name to a bridge.
There is a SONG called "Mendiola", it can be downloaded here:
http://revsongs2.tripod.com/index.html
(Songs page #2). This is the explanation they give:
"This song depicts mass actions on Mendiola. Many excesses by the fascist
state and the gluttons it serve have been done there. One of which is the
infamous Mendiola massacre where demonstrating farmers were fired upon by
military assault rifles. About 80 were seriously wounded and 13 killed. The
enemy naively believes that it has instilled fear in the people. It rather
has made the struggle more powerful."
I suppose they are talking about the Marcos era. BTW, if anybody got the
lyrics of this song or could transcribe it, I would be glad if he could post
it, because I like this song. With its melancholic sound of flutes it
reminds me of some songs from the Spanish protests against the Franco
regime.

Understanding Human Faultiness Piggy
Sadly, the average Pinoy would want prints by some God-awful commercial
painter than an original Amorsolo. With a lady reaping harvest, or a
carabao, Philippine pastoral scenery.
Even an Amorsolo print would be nice. Oh well.

Drop his name, it would be interesting, they might have some work on the
web. Mural works in Pinas were mostly in the sytle of Diego Rivera, I
wonder if this is still a popular style there.
Means he does Rivera style murals, lots of nationalistic themes.
That is the worst thing you can say to an artist, money's secondary to
an artist and that is why we almost ended up replacing wives.
Some of us are smart enough to have two carreers, and we who do, don't
care 'bout how much money our art brings as well.
I am finishing another "Freebie" portrait at this moment...
Its one of those single industry islands, the landowners refuses to
modernize and pays little to their employees. After hundreds of years
paying peple next to nothing inspite of reforms, it is still the same.
Since some of my relatives are from this area, Bacolod, Negros and
Ilo-ilo, I know what it was like before WW2 and after.
NPA has some semblance of control in some areas, but they still pay
homage to the hacienderos.
Sugar processing has matured enough that you can get greater yield per
cane, yet they still use the old machinery to process sugar(some as old
as Limahong!). There are machineries to reap those sharp leaved canes,
yet they still reap everything by hand.
The result of these is less profit, in a world where the competition is
tough.
He should learn how to make his own paint, the way my dad learned;
In the Philippines, there are colors available in hardware stores that
supplies cement materials, cement coloring, it is nothng but pigments in
pure powdered form.
You can actually mix it with your own vehicle, eggs and water, for
egg-tempera, oils and wax, whatever. The greatest problem for an artist
in the Philippines is that supplies are expensive and it seems that
artists in the Philippines discourage people making their own things...
Like paint. There are numerous information on how to make paint from
scratch in the web. and since you are a master of cut-and-paste, why
don't you send him these information.
You might want to send him a PC first if that is a problem for him to
get e-mails from you.
Artists everywhere makes less money than people imagined. A friend of
mine here in L.A. actually builds network systems as sideline as he
makes art. And he is famous.
Another is an excellent photgrapher and writer, but he was a retired
Engineer for IBM. This is the way it is for artists.
You make do with what you have, you work with materials on hand. Not to
do the work is the sin!

Like everywhere, it needs some intellectual maturity to be attracted by
great art. The masses prefer the commercial stuff, but if it really appeals
to them, I can see nothing wrong. Painting and music must speak to the
heart.

You can always say; it is a matter of affordability.
Diego Rivera style? Great! I hope to see some of these murals when I´m
there.
Also Loving Frida Kahlo Style Piggy
My dad's style is actually a popular style nowadays, my father's style
is similar to Behrens, Behrens use palette knives and brushes, My father
only use knives, including cement trowels.
I learned more from my father than when I went to school. But school
gave me continous practice.
I never heard of Frida Kahlo unitl I met a young art student from
Mexico, I was coming from Costa Rica and she sat beside me when we
stopped by Mexico City.
She spoke about her and her life, I think I was drunk then and cannot
help tears from welling up my eyes. She wanted to write and do a story
on Frida, later on I discovered she is Selma Hayek, been to L.A. many
times but at the time she got accepted in one of L.A.'s School.
The movie did not make money, but I liked it.
Yes, mural works in Pinas are mostly done in Diego Rivera's style.

I think you need not necessarily be drunk to be touched by Frida Kahlo´s
life. And like her life, her paintings are full of intensity. Here self
portraits always evoke lots of emotions in me.
She wanted to write and do a story

So she really was prepared to play that roll. Good thing.

Unfortunately, most Filipinos does not know that this Mexico-Philippine
connection is in the arts, music and dances. And fashion as well. In
fact, people has no idea who is original between the two culture that

Seems that bad flaws are the downside of extreme talent.
As for Frida Kahlo, the good thing is that she was never just a victim, she
was very strong and knew how to fight.

Does it matter who is original? The Spaniards were the common link, hence
Mexico and the Philippines developed some parallel cultural traits. In both
cases I like the outcome better than the Spanish prototype, considering
music and arts. Spanish culture worked like a catalytic converter.
