Araceli Dans Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1929 -

Araceli Limcaco Dans (b.1929) is one of the most famous living artists in the Philippines. Limcaco Dans is known for her exquisitely detailed still life paintings in oil, watercolor and acrylic, most of which feature an intricate kind of lacy fabric made in the Philippines called calado. The creation of this cloth involves a type of drawn-thread embroidery.

Limcaco Dans studied art first at Sta. Rosa College, then went on to the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts, where she was mentored by Fernando Cueto Amorsolo, one of the most celebrated artists in that country. An outstanding student, nonetheless, Limcaco Dans strove to find her own voice and also, to have that voice be representative of her nation. She succeeded in this by turning to still life and making unusual compositions often featuring the lacy cloth known as calado, the production of which is native to the Philippines.

“...I did not want to be like Amorsolo and so forth. I had to look for myself.
I found myself in still life. Not many people around the world do still life.
And I looked for original ways of doing still life.
Why does everything have to be on a table? Why always fruits and flowers?
Why not rags, objects inside old cartons?"

She has exhibited at museums and galleries world-wide and received numerous awards. She is also highly respected as an educator, a field in which she has worked concurrently with the fine arts, for most of her career. A coffee table book about her life and work was published in 2010 entitled Araceli Limcaco Dans: A Celebration of the Life and Works of a Filipina Artist. Limcaco Dans and her husband have eleven children.

            Araceli Dans (1929 - 2024) - Pink Serenade

            Est: ₱800,000 - ₱1,040,000

            Pink Serenade signed, dated 2002 and inscribed Baguio (lower left) watercolor on paper 27 1/2" x 19 1/2" (70 cm x 50 cm) Accompanied by a certificate signed by the artist confirming the authenticity of this lot PROVENANCE: A gift from the artist to the present owner *THIS LOT IS SOLD TO BENEFIT THE PROGRAMS OF THE MALABON ZOO WRITE UP Araceli Dans’s 2002 Pink Serenade embodies the best of what her oeuvre can offer. A prolific artist, Dans’s paintings are instantly recognizable with her meticulous attention to detail, particularly with the delicate embroideries that pop out even more with her penchant for depicting her subjects in front of dark backgrounds. In Pink Serenade, her talent for painting the calado, a traditional Philippine open-thread work pattern used in making the barong tagalog, is evident. The black background pushes the attention squarely on the intricately painted fabric and the vibrant pink flowers which are the only pop of color in the otherwise monochromatic piece. Watercolor is notably a hard medium to control; and yet, Dans managed to wield the problematic medium to make the piece look opaque, quite unlike the transparency watercolor offers. Precision and patience went into her depiction of the calado, replicating the lacelike texture with an incredibly meticulous eye. Throughout her illustrious career, Dans sought out ways to find her niche. “..I did not want to be like Amorsolo and so forth. I had to look for myself,” she once said as quoted by a 2024 Lifestyle Inquirer article. “I found myself in still life. Not many people around the world do still life. And I looked for original ways of doing still life. Why does everything have to be on a table? Why always fruits and flowers? Why not rags, objects inside old cartons?" Indeed, her still life stands out, vividly Dans in its intricate details and out-ofthe-box subject matter. (Hannah Valiente)

            Araceli Dans (1929 - 2024) - Umagang Pagbati

            Est: ₱800,000 - ₱1,040,000

            Umagang Pagbati signed and dated 2000 (lower left) watercolor on paper 30" x 22 1/2" (76 cm x 57 cm) WRITE UP Araceli Limcaco Dans humbly began a career in the arts after the war by painting portraits to earn money in order to support her family. The young Araceli would then go on to hone her practice at the UP College of Fine Arts, where she was mentored by the master classical realist Fernando Amorsolo. As a student, Dans would also sell sketches and paint portraits of her peers to fund her own studies. All this practice allowed her to have an adept grasp of technical foundations early on, greatly impressing her mentor. Thus, Amorsolo let her take advanced classes, allowing her to complete her degree in just three years. While her forte began with portraiture, Dans found her muse in the details of the calado or the lacelike thread work of the barong tagalog. Here, for example, Dans paints a vibrant floral arrangement complemented by the demure intricacy of a calado curtain from behind. The juxtaposition is interesting: the elaborate quality of human handiwork and that of nature’s, now woven together in one composition that finds God in the details. The result is a quaint sense of home and history that threads through the exquisite detail of the brush. If Amorsolo’s Filipiniana finds its epitome in the sun-kissed women in baro’t saya basking in the warmth of rural life, Dans f inds it indoors within the gentleness of domestic living. (Pie Tiausas)

COLLECTION Sumbrero ni Mang Temyong signed and dated 1991 (lower right) watercolor on paper 30" x 22" (76 cm x 56 cm) LITERATURE: Goquingco, Leonor Orosa, Sylvia Mendez Ventura, and Maria Araceli Dans Lee. Araceli Limcaco Dans. Makati: Equitable PCI Bank, Inc., 2005. Full-color photograph on page 116 and painting description on page 152. WRITE UP: Dans' artistic legacy is notably adorned with masterfully rendered depictions of calado, a form of exquisite whitepatterned embroidery on pineapple fiber associated with 19th-century Filipino women in the upper echelons of society. Her representation of calado stands as a celebrated hallmark of her artistic prowess, capturing the intricacies of this art form with luminous and exquisite detail. Dans' deep connection to the nationalist spirit is evident in her portrayal of calado, reflecting a profound appreciation for the cultural heritage and traditions of the Philippines. The inspiration behind Dans' artistry extends to her reverence for 19th-century painters such as Damian Domingo and Simon Flores, luminaries of Filipino art during that historical period. Dans' dedication to capturing the essence of calado is not only a visual homage to the craftsmanship of Filipino women but also a tribute to the artistic influences that shaped her worldview. Through her canvases, Dans pays homage to the rich tapestry of Philippine art history, weaving together threads of tradition, nationalism, and the masterful techniques of her revered predecessors.

Romulo, Beth Day Romulo, born Elizabeth Jane West Feagles (May 25, 1924 – November 11, 2022), was a prolific book author, celebrated journalist, and philanthropist. In her decades-long career as an author, Beth Day wrote 31 books, including The Philippines: Shattered Showcase of Democracy in Asia (1975), The Writer, the Lover, and the Diplomat: Life with Carlos P. Romulo (co-authored with David F. Hyatt, 2015), and eight children’s books. For about four decades, beginning in 1986, she served as associate editor and columnist for the Manila Bulletin. She also authored articles for magazines, such as Asia Inc. As a philanthropist, Beth Day served as a board member of the Carlos P. Romulo Foundation for Peace and Development, the Helping Hands Foundation, and Ballet Philippines. She also served as president of the Corregidor Foundation and a trustee of the Filipino-American Memorial Endowment, which aims to preserve the legacies and values of the Filipino- American struggle during World War II. Beth Day received an honorary degree from the Philippine Women’s University in 1975 for her literary achievements and an honorary doctorate from the Baguio Colleges Foundation in 1981. In her speech for the latter ceremony, Beth Day emphasized: “Since I arrived in Manila in January 1973, I have made it my principal goal to attempt to build a better bridge of understanding between the country of my birth, the United States, and the country of my adoption, the Philippines. I love them both—and often wish they knew one another better.” In this work, eminent Filipina artist Araceli Limcaco- Dans depicts Romulo in an elegant pose, while wearing her ever-radiant smile.

            Est: ₱500,000 - ₱650,000

            Araceli Limcaco-Dans (b. 1929) Burdado signed and dated 2006 (lower right) watercolor on paper 30" x 22" (76 cm x 56 cm) Accompanied by a certificate signed by the artist confirming the authenticity of this lot Through her Calado Series, Araceli Limcaco-Dans elevated the art of still life into an almost palpable, authentic representation of Filipino culture and heritage. Limcaco-Dans introduced the Calado Series in 1986 in her solo exhibition at the Museum of Philippine Art (MOPA), which featured portraits and watercolor still lifes depicting hand-embroidered piña fabric. The book Kayamanan: Biographies of Philippine Visual Artists describe Limcaco-Dans’ calado paintings as “highly realistic renderings of embroidery of jusi and piña combined with flowers, baskets, and boxes to create meaningful juxtapositions.” Limcaco-Dans’ Calado Series evokes the works of 19th-century Filipino pioneer secular artists Damian Domingo, Justiniano Asuncion, Simon Flores, and Antonio Malantic, who depicted the natives in their native wardrobes. The calado style of hand embroidery, used in Filipiniana clothing, originated from Lumban, Laguna, known as the “Embroidery Capital of the Philippines.” Hence, it is referred to as Burdang Lumban. According to the Lumban-based barong maker Heritage Barong, the calado is executed by pulling out the fibers in the fabric to reduce the fiber count. The remaining intact fibers are stitched into various open-thread patterns. Limcaco-Dans evokes the exquisite and intricate craftsmanship of the calado in her “embroidered paintings,” emphasizing her keen eye for minute details and artistic rigor. National Artist for Dance Leonor Orosa Goquingo praised LimcacoDans’ Calado series, referring to them as “perfection itself, the epitome of elegance.” In her calado paintings, LimcacoDans does not employ whites in her fabric; it is the surface of the unpainted canvas. While most of her calados feature other images, Limcaco-Dans depicts, at times, the hand-embroidered cloth in its sole, unaccompanied state, like in the case of this particular piece. In a work that speaks of sublimity and the beauty of the indigenous, Limcaco-Dans invites the viewer to revel in the intricacy and brilliance of our native embroidery style. A delicate yet powerfully immersive piece, Limcaco-Dans reinforces her enduring homage to her native roots. (A.M.)

Equitable PCI Bank, Inc. Makati City. 2005. p. 129. Araceli Limcaco Dans was trained under the artistic prowess of Fernando Amorsolo. She was accepted to the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts by the celebrated painter when she was still a high school senior, allowing her to obtain a bachelor’s degree in only three years. Amorsolo did that for Dans to continue pursuing her career in painting, saying that she had an advanced capability when she entered the halls of the Fine Arts college. Conceivably the most celebrated and iconic pieces of Dans are her masterly rendered depictions of calado, the exquisite white patterned embroidery on pineapple fiber that was often associated with 19th-century Filipino women in the upper echelons of society. According to the artist, her luminously exquisite representation of the calados is inspired by her nationalist predisposition and by 19th-century painters Damian Domingo and Simon Flores, among other celebrated Filipino master painters of that period in history. As Sylvia Mendez Ventura, Leonor Orosa Goquingco, and her daughter Maria Araceli Dans Lee described in their monograph titled Araceli Limcaco Dans: “Araceli Dans and calado became twin sisters, just as Picasso and cubism were twin brothers.”

            Est: ₱320,000 - ₱416,000

            Araceli Limcaco-Dans’s paintings successfully transcend the trite and sentimental by virtue of the rich complexities inherent in the subjects she chooses. Beneath the simplicity of the juxtapositions is a host of possible meanings just waiting to be deciphered. In this work from 1983, pieces of three different cloths—a delicately embroidered lace, a sky blue colored silk, and another multi-colored cloth—rest in a native basket, freshly washed and ready to be hanged as signified by the two white clothespins. Dans demonstrates an unassailable fidelity to nature in the realist tradition. What ensues is a smart juxtaposition between textures, colors—from intricate fabric details to the serene and wild colors of the fabrics—and the different roles of a woman—a wife, mother, and a provider.

            Araceli Dans 1929 Baso at Mantel (Glass & Tablecloth) signed and dated 1987 (lower right) watercolor on paper Araceli Dans’ paintings successfully transcend the trite and sentimental by virtue of the rich complexities inherent in the subjects she chooses. Beneath the simplicity of the juxtapositions is a host of possible meanings just waiting to be deciphered. In these works from 1987, pieces of piña fabric, delicately embroidered with flowers and other motifs are juxtaposed with objects picked from mother nature which also feature decorative attributes: a wild flower, the sampaguita and large variety of sea shells respectively. Dans demonstrates an unassailable fidelity to nature in the realist tradition. What ensues is a play of contrasts between the intricate motifs embroidered in the fabric and the natural ornamentation which are the attributes of the living objects from nature.

            Dans' signature callado lace becomes increasingly intricate as it moves from the upper background and into the lower foreground, leading the viewer's gaze to the seashells highlighted at the bottom of the piece. The overflowing lace perfectly complements the seashells' small, sparse, and isolated orientation, creating a graceful balance in the painting.
