Item Details
Description
"Victory Joe-Manila" egg tempera on masonite 21 x 31 1/2 inches. signed and dated 1947. framed 28 x 37 1/2 inches (overall) Note: This award winning work appeared on the cover of "New Hampshire Arts" October 1997 Volume XV Number 4 when Hatch received the 1997 Living Treasure Governor's Arts Award. Note: The first signs of PEACE blossomed in downtown Manila which had been completely destroyed by the retreating Japanese. Within the ruins of modern concrete stores and from their tile floors there arose a vigorous "sin city" catering to the desires and weaknesses of the victorious Americans. Housed in shacks of woven bamboo, roofed with salvaged corrugated tin, this colorful sub-culture is seen in sharp contrast to the reality of the daily struggle of the average Philippino to survive amidst the rubble. The old woman selling candles came to symbolize, for me, the essence of stoic survival. John W. Hatch.
