I remember taking an overnight flight to Singapore just to visit this exhibition. It was the best trip ever!

Luna's study sketches for The Unknown Ones are on display in the National Museum of the Philippines Fine Arts.

I dont think Luna is a hero, but he definitely is a brilliant painter. I just see him as privilege. He was able to live and work overseas and have networks. We have many painters who are very good but probably dont have the same opportunities Luna had. It is hard to see a person a hero the way he maltreats his wife. I mean in today's standards, you cant see a hero in someone who beats and kills his wife and worse claim in court that he is a sauvage, a wild man who cannot be held accountable for murder.

He shouldn't be a hero, he killed his wife & mother in law but I admire him as a painter
