Diosdado Magno Lorenzo (1906-1984) graduated with honors from the U.P. School of Fine Arts in 1928, and he was soon exhibiting side-by-side with his mentor and the classicist painter Fernando Amorsolo. In the early 1930s, he pursued further studies at the Real Academia de Belle Arte de San Fernando, Madrid, Spain; and the Asociazione Internazionale Artistica in Rome, Italy. In 1936, Lorenzo helped organize the Academia di Belle Arti, which was the first art academy in Hong Kong. Returning to the Philippines, he started teaching at the University of Santo Tomas, where he became its director for 26 years. As he continued to paint, Lorenzo soon moved away from the classical style of his teachers, and started dabbling in a style that was a cross between impressionism and expressionism. This breakaway lead to Lorenzo’s inclusion of the first 13 Moderns of Philippine art. Lorenzo was awarded the Araw ng Maynila Award in 1969 and the Republic Cultural Heritage Award in 1970.
