Written by Purita Kalaw-Ledesma and Amadis Ma. Guerrero, this book on National Artist for Painting Victorio C. Edades (1895-1985) documents the artist's humble beginnings, his brilliant academic record in his home province as well as in the United States, and his unflinching crusade to usher in a new era for Philippine art. This book is more than a biography of a major figure in Philippine painting; it is a history of Modern art in the country.
