Description
Indonesia, a pluralistic nation characterized by expressions of continuity and change, has a viable history of modern art. That history, beginning in the 1930s, is unique in its syntheses between modern and traditional, foreign and indigenous, and is a part of the global past and present in art. Combining the approaches of thematic art history, cultural description, and biography, Dr Wright presents an introductory analysis of contemporary Indonesian painting.
