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 Bali Modern written by Gianni Francione and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blending modern, chic designs with traditional sensibilities, the architecture and decor of Bali is the gold standard for tropical living. A thatched Balinese bale', overlooking a panorama of rice fields and open to the evening breeze, or a courtyard that combines temple carving with relaxing, recreational lounging space are enduring features of a distinctive "Bali-style". Shimmering pavilions, open verandahs, living rooms that invite the outside landscaping in--all are part of the Balinese tropical living experience. This book focuses on these timeless features and shows the new and exciting ways in which they are being interpreted. All the contemporary villas, resort bungalows, shops, restaurants and other buildings in the book, most never photographed before are new additions to the Bali scene. Each is unique, and, most importantly, characterized by a distinctly modern feel. Cleaner lines, more imaginative use of space, sharp angles, and the use of stone, concrete and ceramic roof tiles, are increasingly visible along with the coconut wood, teak and thatching. Stunning color photographs depict the residences set within their natural landscapes; architectural details; and a stunning array of individual interiors. Meticulous text compiled by an expert in tropical design relates the various stages of the development of this new, international style, and complements the fascinating array of interiors featured.
