Alice Guillermo

Alice V. Guillermo (6 January 1938 – 29 July 2018) was a Filipino art historian, critic, academic, and author[1][2] best known for her extensive body of art criticism and academic texts on the subject of Philippine art, which academics credit for having significantly informed the writing of both art history and art theory in Southeast Asia.[3][4]

A member of both the Concerned Artists of the Philippines and the Cultural Research Association of the Philippines, she taught at and chaired the Art Studies department of the College of Arts and Literature at the University of the Philippines Diliman. Among her most influential books are 1987's “Social Realism in the Philippines,” 1988's “Images of Change,” 2001's Protest/revolutionary Art in the Philippines, 1970–1990, and 2001's “Image to Meaning: Essays on Philippine Art.”[5][6]

In 2020, the Philippine Contemporary Art Network published Frisson: The Collected Criticism of Alice Guillermo, which an anthology of Guillermo's critical essays.[7]
