With the opening of the newly renovated Ayala Museum in 2021 also came the inaugural exhibition in the new Fernando Zóbel gallery entitled Landscape into Painting: Fernando Zóbel Serie Blanca, which focuses on the peak of lyricism in Zóbel’s artistic practice. While the Serie Blanca period may not have been the ultimate destination in Zóbel’s visual odyssey, this passage was a definite milestone in Zóbel’s mastery over material, form, and composition. This catalogue, which accompanies the exhibition and co-published by Ayala Foundation, Inc. and Vibal Foundation, Inc., features a curatorial essay by Ditas R. Samson expanding the short discussion in the gallery, as well as Rafael Pérez-Madero's interview with Zóbel in the 1978 publication, Zóbel: La Serie Blanca.

These essays by Philippine and U.S.-based scholars illustrate the dynamism and complexities of the discursive field of Philippine studies as a critique of vestiges of "universalist" (Western/hegemonic) paradigms; as an affirmation of "traditional" and "emergent" cultural practices; as a site for new readings of "old" texts and "new" popular forms brought into the ambit of serious scholarship; and as a liberative space for new art and literary genres.
