작품 상세

a) Nena Saguil (1914-1994) b) Betsy Westendorp (b.1927)a) (1914-1994) b) (b.1927) a) Untitled b) Flowers Perhaps, there are no two artists that are diametrically opposed as Nena Saguil and Betsy Westendorp. For one, Saguil was a Filipino artist who migrated to France, while Westendorp was a Spanish émigré who called the Philippines her home. The subject matter of their works operates on the opposite ends of the spectrum. For much of her artistic practice, Saguil affixed her vision on the cosmos, with her trademark symphony of orbs that verges on abstraction. Westendorp, on the other hand, has devoted her attention to the luscious flora and fauna of her adoptive tropical home. But despite the difference in their artistic concerns, both Saguil and Westendorp have committed their lives to the pursuit of beauty, magisterially revealed by these two works that are representative of their respective oeuvres. a) signed and dated 1983 (lower right) b) signed and dated 1983 (lower right) a) oil on canvas b) oil on wood a) 12” x 18” (30 cm x 46 cm) b) 9 1/4” x 12” (23 cm x 30 cm)
