Notes

Dominador Castañeda has been known to be a close contemporary of Fernando Amorsolo. It was because of this that the classical artist made a conscious effort to deviate from the prevailing Amorsolo School’s stylistic leanings. Thus Castaneda’s unique artistic predicament, one that is characterized by the dominant aura that Amorsolo himself held during the time, made him more accepting of the relatively new idea of Modernism in art, albeit halfway. Thus, Castañeda’s works do not feature the seemingly exaggerated bliss that are commonplace in Amorsolo’s own canon. Instead Castaneda’s works occupy a more realistic and intimate space. He was also noted to have said to his son: “Don’t look at the subject too often. Paint your first impression. You have to feel the atmosphere of the subject. How would you feel if you were a tree–cold or warm?” As opposed to the warm, fiery tones of Amorsolo, Castañeda pervades his setting with much cooler hues. Landscapes were the artist’s forte, and this oil on canvas piece is an excellent example of Castañeda’s cooler, more subdued palette. The lack of intensity makes for a more calming atmosphere.
