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.

IT IS believed that we are a sum of our surroundings. Judging from portraits of her by other artists (including one by Fernando Amorsolo), Betsy Westendorp, one of the grandes dames of Philippine art, had been and continues to be a beautiful woman at the age of 93. She was surrounded by beautiful people and beautiful things, and in such a setting, nothing else but beauty is expected. The rarefied world that Ms. Westendorp lived in seemed to be a set path: to paint society portraits; then paint something beautiful; then see those hung on either the homes or the offices of the powerful she painted. Her works then serve as a salve, and an escape from this world, and an exercise in the purpose of beauty.
