“Fernando Zobel” By Rod. Paras-Perez

This book features the life and work of artist, scholar, and patron of the arts Fernando Zobel (1924-1984). He played a crucial role in supporting modern art in the Philippines by actively collecting works and lecturing at the Ateneo de Manila University. Before he left Manila for Spain, he donated his collection of over 200 works by key Filipino postwar artists to Ateneo, which led to the establishment of the Ateneo Art Gallery in 1960. He is best known for his 'Saeta series,' made using syringes, and the 'Serie Negra,' influenced by Chinese calligraphy.
