seeing which reflected the modern age.

practice in the 1960s. His early (1940s–1960s) works, alongside those of peer,
Hernando Ocampo are described as depictions of anguish and dehumanization of
beggars and laborers in the city. These include Man and Woman (alternatively known

cited Legaspi's having "reconstituted" in his paintings "cubism's unfeeling, geometric
ordering of figures into a social expressionism rendered by interacting forms filled
with rhythmic movement".
