Vicente Manansala: Filipino Cubist Painter

Vicente Manansala was a Filipino cubist painter and illustrator.

Manansala's Madonna of the Slums depicts a mother and child from the countryside who became urban shanty residents.

Manansala was not associated with the 13 Moderns group of modernists.

Manansala studied at the U.P. School of Fine Arts from 1926 to 1930.

Manansala's paintings combined the elements of provincial folk culture with the congestion issues of the city.
