Jorge Pineda (b.1954) Study in Oil on Canvas, for the Philippine Revolution A gentleman of the old school and a nationalist through and through, Jorge Pineda was one of the last students to be educated in the Manila Academia in the twilight of the Spanish Empire. He was also enrolled in Teodoro Buenaventura’s school of drawing on Magdalena Street in Tondo where it is said, he predicted his own success. Indeed, at the age of just 25, he would find himself in the company of Juan Luna, Resurreccion Hidalgo, Fabian de la Rosa at the St. Louis World’s Fair of 1904 where his “The Farm Girl” received a bronze medal. He became one of the country’s most sought-after illustrators and worked in a series of the most popular magazines. (He would mentor a certain Fernando Amorsolo at the Renacimiento Filipino.) Pineda invented the iconic Juan de la Cruz as a symbol of the Filipino everyman, dressed in salakot straw hat, barong shirt and slippers, that is still recognizable and loved to this day. He illustrated beauty products and bank notes. On his own time, he preferred to capture snapshots of Filipino life as well as our country’s history. (His other love was for fencing with the venerable Don Alfonso Ongpin.) This work is a study in oil on canvas for a larger work measuring 24 x 36 inches (61 x 91.4 cm), entitled Philippine Revolution — or its first battle, to be exact, which took place on 30 August 1896 in San Juan. Andres Bonifacio plotted to take over this strategic town, which had its own arms depot and most importantly, controlled Manila’s water supply. He marshaled a thousand brave warriors, armed only with long bolos and bamboo spears hardened in fire. There was just a couple of guns among them : a bird rifle and a pistol. The Katipuneros were undaunted. Pineda captures the momentum of their courage, oblivious to the men who fall bleeding about them. One man lies face down to the right of the frame, another lets go of his javelin as a bullet pierces his brave heart. The three central figures press on, two of the men in tatters. The third in red trousers, Bonifacio’s formulaic wear, rally the troops forward. Other men cradle their wounds or have fallen to the ground. A dark shadow on the left falls backward, a Spanish soldier armed with a rifle and bayonet, overwhelmed by the patriots. A bolo is buried into the ground, marking the line in the sand the KKK had drawn in blood. The Revolution’s first battle may not have been an outright victory — the tide quickly turned as Spanish reinforcements arrived on board the new-fangled device called the tranvia. But it had put the world’s greatest empire on notice that their stranglehold on the country was near its end. -Lisa Guerrero Nakpil signed and dated 1931 (lower left) oil on canvas 18” x 26” (46 cm x 66 cm)

Jorge Pineda - Las Buyeras
Est: ₱2,500,000 - ₱2,800,000
Jorge Pineda Las Buyeras A possible study for Pineda’s eponymous award-winning painting from the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri, this painting, signed a year before in 1903, portrays five women preparing betel nuts while a man sits with a book in the background. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition was a seven-month long world’s fair, which devoted 47-acres to the Philippine Exhibition. Wanting to display the culture of America’s newly acquired colony, the exhibit incorporated some 1,100 Filipinos within the display including tribal Moros, Bagobos, Igorots and Negritos. From the Western perspective, the indigenous Filipinos were touted as dog-eaters and savages. As part of the 100 structures in the Philippine grounds was the Government building, where paintings by Fabian de la Rosa, Felix Ressureccion Hidalgo, Juan Luna (who had some 21 works on display), and Jorge Pineda, which were meant to represent the sophisticated side of the Philippines. Pineda won two awards for his efforts, a Bronze for his painting, “A Filipino Girl,” and an Honorable Mention for, “Preparing the Betel Nuts” (Las Buyeras). While the painting included in the 1904 exhibition is believed to be of a much bigger scale, what is certain is that this version was painted while Pineda was in the process of planning for the fair. Las Buyeras is Philippine genre painting at its finest, inviting viewers into an intimate circle, showing Pineda’s refined sentimentality towards his subjects. The painting emanates a silence in atmosphere that highlights both a commonality and singularity between each of the women. Despite a hardened gaze and a look of longing, Pineda’s deliberate strokes and dramatic play with light and shadow generates a warmth that radiates beyond the canvas. 1903 Oil on canvas mounted on board 72 x 59 cm (28 1/4 x 23 1/4 in) A possible study for Pineda’s eponymous award-winning painting from the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri, this painting, signed a year before in 1903, portrays five women preparing betel nuts while a man sits with a book in the background.

Jorge Pineda - A Young Nation
Est: ₱1,800,000 - ₱2,200,000
Araw Pineda, the artist's youngest son, relates that Jorge Pineda was present and watching atop a tree when Jose Rizal was executed in Bagumbayan. The experience left its mark on Pineda, who went to paint a number of canvases imbued with nationalist themes, of which this work is a prime example. Completed in the year when the Philippine Commonwealth was established, A Young Nation shows a mother sewing the Philippine flag as her young son looks on, with a battle scene depicting charging Katipuneros seen lingering in the background. It is said that Pineda was greatly influenced by Fabian de la Rosa, particularly in genre painting. Nevertheless, he evolved a genre style that was distinctly his own: a combination of delicate realism with a subtle, understated flourish and a profound attention to detail. Pineda gave supreme importance to light, deftly handling it to produce varied moods.
