Pumanaw na ang pintor, iskultor at designer na si Arturo Luz sa edad na 94 kagabi, ayon sa post sa social media ng kanyang pamilya.
“It is with deep sorrow that I announce the passing of my father, our beloved National Artist, Arturo Luz. He peacefully joined his Creator at 8:45 this evening, and I stood by his side as he took his last breath,” post ng kanyang anak na si Angela Luz.
Ayon naman sa National Commission on Culture and the Arts (NCAA), kung saan si Luz ay itinanghal bilang National Artist for Visual Arts, “he created masterpieces that exemplify an ideal of sublime austerity in expression and form.”
“From the Carnival series of the late 1950s to the recent Cyclist paintings, Luz produced works that elevated Filipino aesthetic vision to new heights of sophisticated simplicity,” dagdag ng NCCA.
Buong pagmamalaki ring ipinapahayag ng pamilya ni Luz, kung paanong sumasalamin ang lahat ng kanyang mga obra sa personal niyang buhay.
“We could not have asked for anything more. God blessed my father with 94 of the most wonderful years on earth. He enriched our lives with his art, with his incredible talent and his genius,” sabi ni Angela.
Bukod sa pagiging National Artist, itinatag din ni Arturo ang Luz Gallery, isang venue ito ng pagpapakita ng mga gawa at obra ng mga Filipino artists.
