Only Pineda would know if he is injecting satire in this usual composition. Pre-war graphic arts, particularly the editorial cartoons for The Independent, Lipang Kalabaw, and Philippines Free press, by Jorge Pineda (along with Jose Pereira, Irineo Miranda, even Fernando Amorsolo occasionally, was imbued with the spirit of satire.)     A leading illustrator of his day, Jorge Pineda prepared long and hard to master the craft of drawing and oil painting, studying at the old Academy of Painting, Sculpture and engraving before the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution, then again under private mentors after the Philippine American war, and still much later enrolling for life studies at Teodoro Buenaventura’s school at Trozo.     The composition itself tightly knit in terms of light and shadows Dramatic contrast of light and shadow enhances the composition, establishing a formal, almost tense atmosphere. It seems that Pineda places a source of light in the centre of the figure group, concealing it from direct view. Yet the amount of light emitted from this source is far greater than it would be if it were merely natural.     Perhaps most remarkable is the color, here inseparable from the lighting. As was so often his practice, light is of prime importance and Pineda’s subjects are delicately bathed in a luminous glow. The expressive background figures are likewise illuminated by an almost mysterious glow of warm light.     Mi Último Adiós (English; “My Last Farewell”) is a poem written by Dr. Jose Rizal on the eve of his execution by firing squadron 30 December 1896. The piece was one of the last notes he wrote before his death; another that he had written was found in his shoe but because the text was illegible, its contents today remain a mystery.","lot_group":"PAINTING","lot_details_html":null,"alias":null,"hp":1100000,"bp":0.168,"isWithdrawn":0,"accounting_hp":1100000,"userBid":5927,"isPaid":0,"userId":22,"lot_status":"SOLD","isDone":1,"bid_history_id":null,"reserve_price":null,"hammer_price":1284800,"fav":0},"image":[{"id":35117,"img_url":"https://leongallery.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/v2/auction/47/75/lot/128.jpg","isFeatured":1}]},"increment":[900000,1000000,1100000,1200000,1300000,1400000,1500000,1600000,1700000,1800000,1900000,2000000,2200000,2400000,2600000,2800000,3000000,3200000,3400000,3600000,3800000,4000000,4200000,4400000,4600000,4800000,5000000,5500000,6000000,6500000,7000000,7500000,8000000,8500000,9000000,9500000,10000000,11000000,12000000,13000000,14000000,15000000,16000000,17000000,18000000,19000000,20000000],"prev":127,"next":129,"count_bid":0,"bid_history":[],"tokenExpired":1}
