Antonio Blanco or the "Fabulous Blanco" was born on September 15, 1912 in Manila (Philippines) and died in 1999 in Ubud (Bali). Of Catalan descent, his parents settled in Manila in 1898. He studied at the American Central School
in Manila, then moved to New York, where he
entered the National Academy of Art
Sidney Dickinson (1890 - 1908). It was during
years that he devoted himself to the representation
to the representation of bodies in motion,
particularly female. He returned to Bali in 1952,
after several years' travels, and was offered land
offered a plot of land by the King of Ubud, his reputation
had preceded him. At the end of his life, Antonio
Blanco decided to build a museum to exhibit
to exhibit his work, which has now become the
Blanco Renaissance Museum. He also founded
in the 1960s the Blanco Art
Foundation.
Our painting shows a bust of a young girl, probably the painter's daughter, looking to her left. Her face and body stand out against a background sketched out with lively brushstrokes. This is a typical mode of representation for Blanco, who seems primarily interested in the human figure and its movement, giving only secondary importance to the background of his canvases.
