Many of the titles of his works in 1976 are joyously celebratory.  Aside from the uplifting “Awit” there is “Pagdiriwang,” presented to the public in early September 1976 with the inauguration of the Philippine International Convention Center.\n \nFor Joya, there were many other reasons to be celebratory by that time.  By the mid-seventies, he was in full charge of his capacities in handling the properties of oil paint.\n \nIn “Awit,” the incised scrawls on his ovoid cum angular shapes, and movement of these shapes suggesting music, offer calming textural and visual pleasures.  The blues are subdued and serene.\n \nThree years earlier, in 1973, he was quoted: “During the earlier stages of my painting career, I started naturally with preliminary studies and sketches.  That’s because I didn’t control the paint as I do now. In any case, a preliminary design is merely to  “concretize” whatever hazy visual idea I have in mind…Now that I have more control of the situation, I find no need for a  preliminary design whatsoever. I know exactly where the splash of paint will fall, and as regards the element of chance or  accident, I believe that, too, can be controlled.  Accident then becomes an integral part of the painting.”","lot_group":"PAINTING","lot_details_html":"<p><strong>José Joya</strong> (1931-1995)<br /><em>Awit</em><br />signed and dated 1976 (lower right)<br />oil on board<br />12&rdquo; x 17&rdquo; (30 cm x 43 cm)</p>","alias":null,"hp":700000,"bp":0.168,"isWithdrawn":0,"accounting_hp":700000,"userBid":null,"isPaid":0,"userId":22,"lot_status":"SOLD","isDone":1,"bid_history_id":null,"reserve_price":0,"hammer_price":817600,"fav":0},"image":[{"id":39568,"img_url":"https://leongallery.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/v2/auction/64/92/lot/147.jpg","isFeatured":1}]},"increment":[450000,500000,550000,600000,650000,700000,750000,800000,900000,1000000,1100000,1200000,1300000,1400000,1500000,1600000,1700000,1800000,1900000,2000000,2200000,2400000,2600000,2800000,3000000,3200000,3400000,3600000,3800000,4000000,4200000,4400000,4600000,4800000,5000000,5500000,6000000,6500000,7000000,7500000,8000000,8500000,9000000,9500000,10000000,11000000,12000000,13000000,14000000,15000000,16000000,17000000,18000000,19000000,20000000],"prev":146,"next":148,"count_bid":0,"bid_history":[],"tokenExpired":1}
