Description
Signed Paco 62. I believe this to be a Paco Gorospe painting. Also on the back of painting is an outline "sketch" of another girl that was done with paint.
Francisco "Paco" Gorospe (10 July 1939 – 22 September 2002) was a Filipino painter, called the "Picasso of the Philippines".
Paco Gorospe is one of the famous painters of the Philippines.[1] He was born in Binondo, Manila. He was inspired by the simple and colourful lifestyle of native tribes. He joined a local group of artists in Ermita, Manila and sold his paintings locally, gradually gaining recognition. Paco started with crayons, later using water colours but finally shifted to oil paintings.
Gorospe's first major exhibition took place in 1962 at the Washington State Fair. US sales increased and in 1964 his works were chosen to represent the Philippines at the 1964 New York World's Fair[ Other foreign exhibitions followed including Okinawa, Japan (1972), Baden-Baden, Germany (1989), Switzerland and Denmark
