Here is another Filipino who contributed so much for our country through the visual arts. Although it took a BenCab painting stolen article before I realized he should be honored in this blog, we all know he is in fact one of the Filipino Icons. In 2006 he was conferred the Order of National Artist for visual arts President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
I remember so well the book BenCab's Rock Sessions by Eric Caruncho because it was given a lot of promotional airtime at NU 107 some years ago. I think I heard one of the DJ's of NU saying that Paul Mc Cartney bought paintings of BenCab in Malate when they had their concert here.
BenCab is BenCab!
For more on his life, check him out at BenCab Museum, Benedicto Cabrera and Profile of Ben Cabrera.
I wish the 2 lost BenCab paintings will be located and be brought to it's rightful owner.
