SIMILARITIES
: Modern artists
experimented
with new ways
of seeing and
with fresh ideas about the nature of materials and functions of art. And
abstract work, emotions of the artworks subject.
SUMMARIZE : The modern artist Working together with Hernando
Ocampo, Vicente Manansala, Cesar Legaspi, Romeo Tabuena and Victor
Oteyza, he became a practitioner of expressionism and cubism and later
developed a style characterized by bold lines and strident colors. Estella
had always believed that this approach of painting leads to a healthy
movement, to a kind of art which allows the painter the same freedom in
paint as music notes allow the composer -- not an imitation of nature but
a personal interpretation. Six of Estellas children: Regina Estella,
Rosemarie Bosque, Cynthia Ormachea, Cecile Lavine, Ricardo Estella
and Ramon Estella Jr., provided detailed descriptions of their fathers
early, middle and late career and offered important insights into
contemporary perceptions of his heritage as an artist. It is hoped that
Ramon Estellas contribution brings the fruits of his artists lifetime back
into the public eye.
