Amorsolo had developed his own rustic vision strong enough to hold its own, against even those Philippine art  movements which tried to escape from it.\nIt captures the steady, unhurried pace of rural life, removing the viewer from the fast, hectic pace lived outside of the countryside,  reminding us of the beauty and simplicity of everyday actions and experiences. \nAmorsolo is a dedicated visual rambler of the countryside, an artist who passionately experiences the terrain through which he hikes.  As a result, his paintings reflect the very intensity and directness of his love of nature, and are dedicated to a romantic style of honesty  in recording it. \nThe nude woman facing the child is by itself a fascinating work of art, and may be the only academic exception to the consensus that  Amorsolo goes outside of academic canons by posing figures not in the studio where light could be controlled, but in the outdoors, under the shifting light of the heavens.  With his backlighting technique, he even catches in paint the effect of bright sunlight.\nAmorsolo’s canvases are sparsely populated, but once everything had been arranged, Amorsolo would make a detailed drawing of every human figure in the pose the composition dictated. \nAmorsolo’s works are not the result of any studio defined, culturally filtered notion of landscape as such, but reflects instead a very  particular kind of visual vocabulary of forms — we see and feel the light of the midday sun; we perceive the cool, onrushing river, even the wetness of the clothes being washed.\nIf the composition doesn’t have Amorsolo’s all-encompassing skies, it shows great skill at showing light reflected from the rushing water. The river is a movement of rich shades of green and ochres. Everywhere life is expressed in light.","lot_group":"PAINTING","lot_details_html":"<p><strong>Fernando Amorsolo</strong> (1892-1972)<br /><em>Lavanderas</em><br />signed and dated 1951 (lower right)<br />oil on canvas<br />28&rdquo; x 40&rdquo; (71 cm x 102 cm)</p>","alias":null,"hp":5500000,"bp":0.168,"isWithdrawn":0,"accounting_hp":5500000,"userBid":5926,"isPaid":0,"userId":22,"lot_status":"SOLD","isDone":1,"bid_history_id":null,"reserve_price":null,"hammer_price":6424000,"fav":0},"image":[{"id":38329,"img_url":"https://leongallery.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/v2/auction/60/88/lot/125.jpg","isFeatured":1}]},"increment":[5500000,6000000,6500000,7000000,7500000,8000000,8500000,9000000,9500000,10000000,11000000,12000000,13000000,14000000,15000000,16000000,17000000,18000000,19000000,20000000],"prev":124,"next":126,"count_bid":0,"bid_history":[],"tokenExpired":1}
