A catalog of the exhibition Fernando Zobel in the 1950s: The Formative Years which focuses on Zobel's semi-figurative works of the formative years that eventually metamorphose into non-objectivism. Zobel sought to distinguish and understand Filipino expression or identity through his research in history and culture, as well as in his experimentations and explorations on canvas and paper. Colonial santos, a main research area for Zobel, are exhibited along with his paintings. The juxtaposition forms a visual study of the creative, intellectual, and expressive toil and quest of one of the influential figures in Philippine art in the twentieth century.
