    Vicente Silva Manansala (January 22, 1910 - August 22, 1981) was a Philippine cubist painter
    and illustrator.

    Manansala was born in Macabebe, Pampanga. From 1926 to 1930, he studied at the U.P. School
    of Fine Arts. In 1949, Manansala received a six-month grant by UNESCO to study at the Ecole
    de Beaux Arts in Banff and Montreal, Canada. In 1950, he received a nine-month scholarship to
    study at the Ecole de Beaux Arts in Paris by the French government.

    Manansala's canvases were described as masterpieces that brought the cultures of the barrio and
    the city together. His Madonna of the Slums is a portrayal of a mother and child from the
    countryside who became urban shanty residents once in the city. In his Jeepneys, Manansala
    combined the elements of provincial folk culture with the congestion issues of the city.
