Book excerpt: The deeper you go in understanding his art works, the more the passion becomes febrile. What a complete artist he was, everything he touched, architecture, sculpture, drawings, reliefs, had that magic or divine inspiration called Taksu among the Balinese which gave all his work a very special dimension. The geniality of the artist is reflected in his drawings in very particular features: the purity of line, the distribution of the space, the expression of the characters or the living plants and trees which seem to vibrate with real life. Everything spans with life and magic and the observer is immediately captured by the talent and spirit behind. Whatever he made, he caught the soul of the theme, weather an action, a creature, a cloud, the mud in the rice fields or even an inanimate object such as the sarongs, the traditional Balinese garment which he makes them look almost palpable, reflecting the animist principle that everything has a soul or ethos. When one observes the family shrine sculpture portraying the different generations (Il. n.) with his self portrait in the right bottom corner, one perceives the love he put into it, the piece shines in front of our eyes!It is full of beauty and positive energy transmitting accurately the way he felt about his family. This work could stand next to the Mona Lisa and they would be smiling in harmony. Or the young soul mask he created while watching his grand daughter which is in itself the description of beauty and youth but also the representation of the fine half Yin of the Balinese microcosm .This mask can be considered one of the most touching works by the Master. Likewise the perfect rhythm found in the dancers in the Dance Lesson where harmony, movement and teaching skill are fully achieved at the same time that technical perfection thus making out of it an outstanding masterpiece.

Download or read book Secret Bali written by Jill Gocher and published by PT. Phoenix Communications. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Bali changes from a sleepy agriculturally- based island living its culture on a daily basis, to a dynamic tourism-based resort replacing the traditional with modern and Balinese culture with Western lifestyle, I decided that we needed to record as much as possible for the future. Who better to turn to than the exceptionally talented Jill Gocher whose ability to capture life beautifully with her camera is outstanding. The result, in the pages of this book, is Bali away from the tourist track where life continues as it has for centuries. But even this has another side, another aspect: the myths and legends that underlie so much of Balinese culture. For this we turned to immensely talented historian, art critic and art custodian Jean Couteau, who has been regularly writing on aspects of Balinese culture and belief in NOW! Bali. So this marvellous combination of talents came together to create “Secret Bali”, to bring the “seen” and the “unseen” elements of Balinese life together in these pages.

Book excerpt: Based on the award-winning PBS documentary series, Ring of Fire is this first-person account of the adventures of two English brothers as they explore the astonishingly rich cultures of the Indonesian archipelago. Their fascinating odyssey began in 1972 with a 2,500-mile voyage through the fabled Spice Islands, in search of the Greater Bird of Paradise. A decade of further exploration followed, during which the brothers lived among the Asmat cannibals of Papua and the healers of Bali, came face-to-face with the man-eating dragons of Komodo, and encountered the elusive dream wanderers of Borneo. Amid impenetrable rain forests, erupting volcanoes and startling natural beauty, the brothers have captured on film and in words the story of one of the most captivating and intriguing explorations ever made.

Book excerpt: Willem Gerard Hofker (1902-1981) is vooral bekend van zijn Indische oeuvre, maar weinig mensen weten dat deze impressionist, die in kringen van schilders als Willem Witsen, Isaac Israels en Georg Breitner opgroeide, staatsieportretten maakte van koningin Wilhelmina en koningin Juliana. Ook schilderde Hofker een groot scala aan onderwerpen: van grachtengezichten tot bloemstillevens, van naakten tot sfeervolle landschappen met verborgen landhuizen. Daarbij was Willem Hofker een meester in alle media: olieverf, aquarel, conté-krijt, maar ook etsen, mezzotinten en lithografieën. Het boek brengt de breedte van Hofker's oeuvre onder de aandacht, en probeert met citaten uit de vele brieven en dagboeken dieper inzicht te geven in de wereld zoals Hofker haar zag.0Exhibition: Teylers Museum, Haarlem, the Netherlands (14.12.2013-16.3.2014).
