Vicente silva manansala autobiography for kids

He is regarded as as a pivotal player in the creation and dissemination of Cubism in the country and as a respected member of the Thirteen Moderns. His artistic ability stems from his original art studies in the Philippines, which he expanded on during his academic days abroad, when he was exposed to the masterpieces of Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso.

However, whereas other Cubist artists broke figures down into simple shapes and then laid them out on a two-dimensional plane, Vicente Manansala’s artworks evolved into a hybrid translucent method that stayed loyal to the three-dimensional form.
