Felix Pardo de Tavera (1859 - 1932) C’est mi!... (Bercks/Mer)
Est: ₱80,000 - ₱104,000
Felix Pardo de Tavera (1859 - 1932) C’est mi!... (Bercks/Mer) signed and dated 1890; stamped 456 bronze H: 11” (28 cm) D: 3 1/2” (9 cm) Sculptor and physician Félix Pardo de Tavera was the son of the elder Félix Pardo de Tavera, a member of the Consejo de Administración, and Juliana Gorricho, female scion of a prominent real estate family that owned Escolta. He is the brother of Paz Pardo de Tavera, Juan Luna’s ill-fated wife, and erudite scholar Trinidad Pardo de Tavera. Félix and his siblings were orphaned by their father at very young ages; Félix Sr. was among the casualties of the 1863 Manila earthquake. The children were then taken under the wing of their uncle, Joaquin Pardo de Tavera, a liberal lawyer and member of the Comite de Reformadores, which campaigned for reforms in the Spanish colonial government. Félix studied at the Ateneo from 1874-76 while attending classes at the Academia de Dibujo y Pintura. In 1877, he sailed to France to pursue further studies, enrolling at Sorbonne University and graduating with a degree in medicine in 1882. His dissertation studied the causes of fetal death during early pregnancy. Félix then specialized in pediatric surgery, working at Paris’ Hôpital Lariboisière. The historical context and significance of his sculptural masterpiece titled C’est mi! (lit. “It’s me!”) is likely connected to his experience of being paternally orphaned at a young age and his studies and work in pediatrics. The image of a smiling stout boy may contrastingly allude to Felix’s lost gaiety as a child. Furthermore, the work likely reflects the endearing children whose lives he had come across in his pediatric career. C’est mi! is a celebration of childhood innocence and naivety (which, in the case of Félix, was lost too soon) and Félix’s lived experiences. (A.M.)

C'est mi!
Est: ₱120,000 - ₱156,000
Modeled in the form of a young boy standing with hands in his pockets, Felix Pardo de Tavera’s sculpture titled C'est mi! is seemingly a study of the self. By using a compounded play on words, Pardo de Tavera’s intention is one of self-discovery as he uses his past self as a reference point for his present piece and his future plans. By doing so, Pardo de Tavera’s straightforward piece becomes a medium of self-contemplation and identity. By sculpting his past self at his present condition, de Tavera deterritorializes identity by removing the social context of the past through the use of a uniformed palette, medium, and style throughout this sculpture.
