Fernando Amorsolo's sketchbooks form a visual record of the Japanese occupation. In November 1944 he sketched prisoners in FEU before they were executed. Another from the afternoon of 30 August 1943 shows a wounded prisoner dragged along Azcarraga (now Recto avenue).
My Inquirer column today is on the dark side of Amorsolo's art when the painter became a historian.
