0000005370 00000 n   While he had already eschewed the figurative much earlier in his painting career, Joyaâs abstractions during this period, rendered on large canvases, began to explore the spatial realm in its use of tonal variations and geometric forms. This style would later evolve into more subdued, less frenzied, but no less grand compositions, as exemplified in the showcased murals âLanterns of Enlightenmentâ and âMarivelesâ both of which were painted in the 1970âs at the height of Joyaâs career.Joya subsequently returned to the US in the late 1960âs, on a painting grant to New York, from the Ford Foundationâs John D. Rockefeller III Fund and a printmaking scholarship to the Pratt Institute. As the first Filipino modern artist of international renown, Joya traversed the globe, exhibiting his works in the US, Europe, Asia and the Pacific and representing the country in prestigious biennales abroad. 0000012573 00000 n
