Isabella Wentendorp Brias, known among friends and fans as Betsy, is among the world celebrated artists, immortalizing notable personalities of history through her brush strokes. The Metropolitan Museum of Manila (MET) gives Filipino a chance to witness the works of the Spanish-Filipino artist at the museum’s ground floor Tall Galleries from Jan. 29 to March 15.  Entitled “Passages: Celebrating the Artistic Journeys of Betsy Westendorp,” the retrospective gathers more than 100 artworks spanning 60 years of the artist’s illustrious professional painting career in various cities around the world. It alludes to the departure from her home country of Spain to commence what would be a lifetime relationship with the Philippines, and reveals the paths which would lead to her self-definition as a woman, a wife and mother, an artist.
