Blanco Art Gallery   (Angono, Rizal, Luzon)

The museum displays the incredibly life-like paintings of the most famous family of painters in the country. Headed by renowned artist Jose "Pitok" V. Blanco,all seven children employ their father's painting style. Breaking away from the Botong Francisco tradition,the Blanco family paintings are very natural or clos%r to reality. Compared to the vibrant colors of the Botong-inspired paintings,the Blancos often use brown tones to effect a more somber depiction of reality. It is also interesting to note that Pitok Blanco's wife and children are often the subject of his works,whether they are fleeing an Angono fire,are in deep prayer,or as infant angels surrounding Christ. Paintings portraying rural life outdoors are more colorful,each done with painstaking detail.
