    THE EARLY YEARS OF VICTORIO EDADES
    • Edades was born on December 23, 1895 in Dagupan,
    Pangasinan to Hilario Edades and Cecilia Edades.
    • He was the youngest of 10 children, 6 died from small pox
    (Variola virus)

    Fine Arts at the University of Washington in Seattle and later
    earned his masters in fine arts.

    • He married an American named Jean Garrott,
    with whom he had his only daughter, Joan.
    • His growing appreciation to what he saw in
