PASSION & COMPASSION: A COLLECTOR’S VIEW
By Dr. Leovino Ma. Garcia
38 x 30.5 cm, 72 pages, Full color, Softbound
PhP 1,500
A visual and intellectual delight for abstract art enthusiasts, Passion & Compassion features Dr. Leovino Ma. Garcia’s collection of one of the country’s leading exponents of abstract art, Lao Lianben. The book captures Lao’s unique approach to painting—the elimination of the inessential—as he creates works that reveal more with less. Austere images of Lao’s paintings grace each page, provoking one’s imagination and reflection. A Philosophy professor and former Dean of Ateneo de Manila University’s School of Humanities, Garcia shares his insights as a Lao collector and offers advice on appreciating abstract art’s means of presenting reality.
