Visual Artist GLENN A. BAUTISTA


GLENN A. BAUTISTA was born on March 20, 1947 in the little town of Orion, in Bataan, a province in Central Luzon, Philippines. Bataan became historically infamous due to the Bataan Death March during World War II that ended in 1945 when the Americans liberated the Philippines from the Japanese occupation. Obviously, Glenn was a postwar baby. His father became a minister of the United Methodist Church in 1945 and served for 39 years. His mother was a deaconess, a graduate of Harris Memorial College, the only deaconess training school of the United Methodist Church in the Far East. Glenn is the seventh of nine children in the family.

He completed his education in Manila. His elementary education at the Sta. Ana Elementary School, his secondary education at the Union High School, and his college education at the University of Santo Thomas (UST), the oldest university in the Philippines, and at the University of the Philippines (UP), the highest ranked and only national university in the Philippines.

In 1965, Glenn A. Bautista was an advertising student at the University of the Philippines. It was during this time that his father, the Rev. Ignacio P. Bautista, encouraged him to submit an entry to an International Art Competition sponsored by an organization for World Literacy and Christian Literature in New York. Out of sixty-four entries from all over the world, Glenn Bautista's "The Event" was declared winner.

It was also in 1963-65 when both his UST (University of Santo Thomas) and UP (University of the Philippines) Fine Arts school plates led to many of his major artworks. One of them was the "Rizal Monument", a pen and ink drawing composed of the complete thirty-nine poems of the Philippine national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, and one song, the “A Orillas del Pasig”. This song was translated into English by his late friend, Alfredo Veloso. The Rizal pen and ink drawing was on exhibit for about 6 years at the Jose Rizal Shrine at Fort Santiago in Manila upon the request of the former First Lady of the Philippines, Imelda Romualdez Marcos.

After about a year of study at the University of Santo Thomas, Glenn transferred to the University of the Philippines, College of Fine Arts where he was a consistent university scholar.

In 1967, Dean Jose Abad Santos of the U.P. College of Law, together with Atty. Israel Bocobo, commissioned Glenn to do a mural in honor of the late Justice Jorge Bocobo, the fifth president of the University of the Philippines. The mural is still on display at the UP Law Center libra...
