Condition
The work is in good condition overall, as is the board which is free from scuffs and abrasion.

Catalogue Note
“The power and fascinating quality of Legaspi’s [paintings] stem from the feeling that they strike deep into subconscious reserves of energy and imagination. Aside from being dramatic metaphors of “the human condition,” they are also visual correlatives of inner moods and psychological weathers.”
