According to the National Artist Jose Joya on the art of the nude: “The natural poetry of the human body accounts for its timeless popularity among the artists. Living forms, ever changing movements evoked by the nude stimulate the imagination which result in the varied and celebrated stylistic renditions. No subject creates the sensuality in art that nudes give.” Source: filipino nude by Alfredo Roces, Vera-Reyes, Inc., 1977.
