information
Bali
painting was subject to outside influences, particularly
form Western painting, during the late 1920s
in Ubud, Gianyar, Bali.
While some foreign influences on traditional painting
already were being used since the late 19th century, major changes
occured due to the fluence of Walter Spies (German,
1895-1942), who emphasized light, shadow, depth & perspective
in his works. Rudolf Bonnet (Dutch, 1895-1978),
on the other hand, focused on anatomy & portraiture. Both
of them came to Bali in the late 1920s and built their studios
in Ubud with the assistance of the local prince Cokorda
Gede Agung Sukawati (1910-1978), a patron of Balinese
art. At the time, Ubud was not known as a centre for
the visual arts, although there was a style of wayang
/ puppet painting.
It
was natural for Bali artist to notice the talents
of Spies and Bonnet, who in turn urged some of the local Bali
painters to use broader themes and encouraged them to
paint with more freedom. While very few Balinese artists
were directly tauht these new aesthetic concepts, other Bali
artists simply copied what they saw and like which was
a tradition in the Bali culture. Most of them
turned to themes already familiar to them in traditional astrological
charts and earthquake almanacs, using the Bali agricultural scenes
as ideas for the new genre style of painting. These were compositions
free of religious or ceremonial value.
Although the new paintings were innovative, the beauty of the lines and the strength of style and focus clearly show connections to Balinese culture because the artists did not completely abandon their traditional methods of painting. They used tempera and watercolors, and later oil and acrylic paints became popular. Some of the common themes were of farmers in ricefields, women at marketplaces, religious ceremonies, and Bali musican & dancer. The traditional Bali painting artists also found a ready market for their works by supplying tourist demands for Bali souvenirs.
Bali Painter I Gusti Nyoman Lempad (1862-1978), Bali's Most Well-Known Artist,
was born in the village of Bedulu in Gianyar, south-centre Bali. He was artisan,
Bali carver, and Balinese architect. His ink
drawings on paper, many with touches of colors, are internationally famous.
Their clarity, expression, composition, and form are unmatched to very day.
