A.T. Caedo and the University of the Philippines: a classical sculptor's contributions (1952-1972)
Issue Date
1-2022
Abstract
Anastacio T. Caedo is a forgotten classical sculptor whose contributions are ignored today. When Modernism gained a foothold in Philippine Art society, Caedo entered the University as faculty and served for twenty years. During those twenty years, some Caedo biographers missed noting his significant contributions to the University. Some of these works are icons of constituent universities for a time, while some are permanently exhibited, etched, and distributed. However, the problem remains that nobody remembers the artist behind them. Using periodicals, interviews, unpublished documents, and available scholarly research as a source of this article demonstrates the significant contributions of Anastacio T. Caedo and classical sculpture to the University of the Philippines from 1952-1972.
