N2  - "This book is about Purita Kalaw-Ledesma, a great cultural worker considered primarily responsible for the position occupied by visual arts in Philippine modern art. The Art Association of the Philippines was established with herself as its founding member and first president. Her inspired leadership and unstinting dedication galvanized artists into a movement that gave birth to a highly respected annual arts competition and produced the much acclaimed Filipino painters of the twentieth century, including National Artists. This book shows us that art, while shaped by the talent and passion of artists, needs the vision and devotion of critics and advocates to truly grow and be appreciated." - Virgilio Almario
