FHL presents The Printed Word: The Lost Art of Gabino Reyes Congson Ever wonder what life was like in the 1930s? How did young men go a-courting? When was "Mango Time"? Could money really turn into stone?
You are cordially invited to THE PRINTED WORD: THE LOST ART OF GABINO REYES CONGSON, September 6, Saturday, 10:30 AM at the 2F Function Room of Ayala Museum.

A product of international correspondence schools such as the US-based Landon School of Illustrating and Cartooning and Federal Schools, Inc., Gabino Reyes Congson (1910-2006) illustrated popular covers for the iconic Philippine Magazine from 1936 to 1941. According to AVH Hartendorp, publisher and editor of Philippine Magazine, "Mr Congson’s drawings of Manila street characters are noted for their keen observation and humor, and those who understand anything of art will admire the economy and efficiency of the means he employs in transferring what he sees and thinks to his sketch pad." The exhibit will run until December 2014. Regular admission to the lecture is Php 300. A discounted rate of Php 150 is given to students, teachers, and senior citizens. Please feel free to disseminate this e-invite to The Printed Word to book and literature lovers like you.
