A six-page scrapbook with photographs and notes on the works of Angel Flores, compiled by Joy Dayrit.
Angel Flores (1936 - 1968) is a Filipino expatriate artist who died in a motorcycle accident in the US, leaving behind an English girlfriend named Sheila Hollister and around twenty paintings, which Sheila turned over to his two former Ateneo High School classmates, Ramon Katigbak and Benjamin Bautista, in 1969. The paintings were shown on a television talk show, 'Two For The Road,' in 1969, and were included in 'Summer Exhibition' at Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) in 1970 and in the survey, 'A Decade of Developmental Art,' also at the CCP, in 1979. A solo exhibition was also mounted at Joy Dayrit's Print Gallery in 1971.
The album includes photographs, dated April 1971, of four of Flores' works, including Baby, Sheila, Baby; The Perfumed Garden and Homage to Fontana, in addition to excerpts from Ramon Katigbak and Benjamin Bautista's article, Homage to Angel Flores, published by Nation magazine on 11 January 1971.
'Angel Flores' is a fictional persona co-created by Benjamin Bautista, Ramon Katigbak, and Angel Flores Jr. — Roberto Chabet — who was the artist of all the works created.
