The definitive survey of Balinese painting, from its traditional origins to today's internationally acclaimed contemporary artists.

Balinese Art traces the evolution of one of Southeast Asia's richest artistic traditions, from the classical paintings of village workshops to the vibrant contemporary works that have earned worldwide recognition. Richly illustrated and deeply researched, it explores the cultural, religious and historical influences that have shaped Balinese painting over the centuries.

Beginning with Bali's pre-colonial artistic traditions, including the classical paintings of Kamasan, the book follows the emergence of new artistic styles during the twentieth century and examines the impact of tourism, international exchange and modern Indonesian art. It concludes with profiles of many of Bali's most important contemporary artists, including the internationally celebrated painter Nyoman Masriadi.
