This book covers the development of modern and contemporary art in
Indonesia, from the colonial period in the 1930s to the present time of
globalization. Each chapter is based on important historical moments
that changed the course of the art world. Special attention is paid to
individual artists who invented new concepts, styles, and techniques.
The Indonesian art world is divided over several geographic centers that
are far away from each other (Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, and Bali).
For an outsider, it is not that easy to discover the places where modern
and contemporary art can be found, but this book gives us insight into
those worlds.
