About the book >.>.> In recent years contemporary Indonesian painting has matured very rapidly and contributed significantly to the major surge of Asian art. This handsomely produced book takes a look at this artistic flowering and offers art enthusiasts for the first time clear guidelines and explanations on the subject. For this project prominent and talented painters from all parts of the archipelago were interviewed and the final selection of the artists was made after consultation with leading art gallery owners art critics and collectors. In the selection of the key paintings for this book the authors were guided by the following criteria-authenticity creativity technical mastery aesthetic appeal and content. The result is a remarkable diversity of styles and paintings of outstanding quality that not only visually excite but challenge readers through the close linking of words and pictures to explore the artworks and the ways in which the painters evoke a whole range of different responses. The text features a vividly written work-by-work commentary discussed with the living artists while over 60 paintings reproduced in colour to the highest standard provide a stimulating and exciting visaral gallery.
