Book: Art Deco in the Philippines
Posted on | April 11, 2011 |
Please check this GMANews article “ART DECO: Regaining Lost Memory.” A feature story about the book “Art Deco in the Phillippines.” A must-read story and a must-have book. If interested, the email ad of the publication is posted too. I’ll email them. I want one. Check a cute little art deco book here. BTW, we still have lots of unblogged book reads/reviews, just no time to do that now.
Updated 041211, I emailed them already and I’m adding book details below.
ART DECO IN THE PHILIPPINES brings into new focus some of the country’s important architectural landmarks built during Commonwealth years when the nation was experiencing a flowering of political, economic, and artistic life. American– and European-educated Filipino Architects such as Pablo Antonio, Juan Arellano, Tomas Mapua, Juan Nakpil, and Fernando Ocampo led the place in modernizing and rebuilding the Filipino architectural landscape with Art Deco-inspired residences and public buildings all over the country. Among the Philippine Art Deco structures featured in this book are the Metropolitan theatre, the Far Eastern University, the Tomas Mapua house, movie theaters and residences in the cities of Manila, Sariaya, and Iloilo.
