Widayat Born in Kutoarjo, Central Java, 1923. He studied at the Indonesian Fine Art Academy (ASRI), Yogyakarta and Ceramics and Landscape, Nagoya, Japan (1960). He received BKPM award (1953), a cultural award from the Indonesian Government (1972), the Best Biennial Painting, Yogyakarta (1986) and the ASEAN Award, Brunei Darussalam (1993). His works have been shown throughout Indonesia and abroad. He performed his solo exhibitions in Yogyakarta (1983), Jakarta (1985, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2000 and participated in joint exhibition in Japan, Netherlands and United States for KIAS (1990 – 1991).

The themes of Widayat’s works during half a century have not shifted much. They are centered on landscapes, flora and fauna, actual daily life, myths legends, and religious – spiritual issues. The same remark goes for his treatment of main object and decorative backgrounds with textures that has already become part of his characteristic features. One of the themes extensively treated by Widayat is flora and fauna. After his trip to Japan, the artist created many cherry blossom trees and animal objects like birds, horses and fishes.

Fish seem to be the obsession for Widayat, who explained that his fascination for the creatures started in Japan. He went to deep-sea fishing with friends. The fish had all sort of strange, monstrous forms that appealed to Widayat’s fantasy. The fish is a symbol of good health, just like a proverb says “I feel as healthy as a fish in water.” Another reason for Widayat’s attraction to underwater world might be because he was born under the astrological sign of Pisces, the Fish. People with this sign must have the freedom to swim in all directions, living in the depths of the intuitive world of water.

Agung Mangu Putra Born in 1963 at Sangeh, Central Bali, Mangu Putra was trained in Yogyakarta at Indonesia’s premier art school, Institute Seni Indonesia (originally ASRI, the Akademi Seni Rupa Indonesia). He majored in Design and Visual Communications and worked as a graphic designer until 1997 when he began to pursue career in the Fine Arts. This exciting and very talented artist has participated in a number of group and solo exhibitions throughout Indonesia as well as internationally in Singapore, China, South Korea, Australia, and the United Kingdom. He received awards as the Best in Design Arts (during the 4th and 6th anniversary of ISI, as the finalist of Philip Morris Award in 1994 and Indofood Art Award 2002, Second Place, Jakarta.

Mangu Putra’s works arise from intense contact with the world as a conscious expression of his main creative orientation. Representations of natural phenomena, along with the inner pulse of life, form the main stream of his search. The natural world, such as mountains and coasts, are depicted as identifiable objects. He observed the historical events through photographs which later he reimagined those events and translated to his canvas. Often the scenes are dotted with Balinese villagers dressed in traditional robes for worship, perhaps reminiscent of Chinese philosopher painter’s work depicting the omnipotence of nature. Here, Mangu’s concern are not ritual ceremonies but rather the traditional culture of worship for the land; the land that scared and fundamental to our existence. His paintings are not meant to inform, but rather to share his feelings and thoughts through art.

Agus Suwage is first and foremost a graphic designer who has had 10-years experience with commercial art before he ventured into his current profession as an artist. In mid 1995, he borrowed the artistic mode of the German Anselm Keifer and the British Francis Bacon. Later, he tried to develop his own style starting to study with his own body and face in various poses and expression in realistic rendering as his means to convey sociocultural issues in cynical, ironical and parody atmospheres.

Suwage’s artistic explorations have as the basic photographic images that he develops with his sensitiveness and manual skills in drawing, adding support from digital manipulation, to produce images. His works illustrate how the constructed image of Western avant-garde art has been inspirational, through “museum without walls”, to the culture of the world’s modern art. Suwage’s mode of appropriation is by borrowing iconic imageries as his reference, to serve the metaphors for values actively working between love and hate, amazement and derision at once, in parodying, and so on.

MASTERPIECE FINE ART - SINGAPORE

Since 1950s, Srihadi had produced dancing themes as his favorite objects. Among the dancing object comes from a variety of Balinese dances such as Legong, Pendet, Tambulilingan, Kenyar, Janger, Baris, Barong, Mask Dance, etc, and also the dance from Javanese like Bedoyo Ketawang. Some of his figurative paintings, especially the dancers, look deceptively similar, and that the figures have become stereotypes, but one should try to appreciate and study the details and minimal variations. Srihadi pays particular attention to the characteristic of the dancer and the artistic form of the dance. Every dance has its language or vocabulary of movement and type of costume, all of which imbued with philosophical meaning.

The dance is one of Srihadi’s favorite themes. In his paintings of dancers he continues to paint female dancers in the same upright pose that has used in the past. His dance work consist of series of dancers, even so, for Srihadi, each dance has its own particular mood, the gist of which he attempts to capture in his painting.

At the same time, dance also offers a panorama of human life in general: it shows the dynamic union between the everyday world of material reality and the world beyond perception, the realm of the material.

Chen Wen Hsi (b. 9 September 1906, Guangdong, China–d. 17 December 1991, Singapore) was one of Singapore’s pioneer artists. A prolific painter who worked in a range of styles, Chen won acclaim for combining Western art with Chinese brush strokes in his paintings. He was also an influential art teacher at The Chinese High School and the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) for many years.

Life Another vital current through Chen’s practice was his insistence on close observation of nature and a solid foundation in drawing from life or life drawing (xiesheng). Chen painted both Western and Chinese paintings. His Western-style works in the early 1950s were realistic depictions infused with post-impressionistic and expressionistic elements. Chen’s Western painting style subsequently evolved, moving from simplified forms and strong colours to cubism, and later abstraction. Besides using oil paints for his Western artworks, Chen also experimented with acrylic and viscous paints as well as sand on canvas. Surrounded with natural landscape Chen’s often painted what he saw. The field of calabash (bottle gourd) a tropical vine grown for its fruit, which can either be harvested young and used as a vegetable, or harvested mature, dried, and used as a bottle has captured Chen’s attention. This simple plant has allowed him to explore his great mastery in combining colors of yellow and black ink in simple forms. Every subject he paints, whether lotuses, gibbons, egrets, monkeys, squirrels, birds, or flowers and trees, is palpably vibrant.

Affandi Affandi’s work exhibits a distinct rhythm full of emotional intensity. The impact of this emotion is communicated visually depending on the emotional drive of the painter himself. The expressionist painter characteristically has an urgency to simultaneously grab the movement of the moment he wants to describe, along with capturing the textures of the object, a drive that often leads him to work much more passionately compared to the naturalists, the realists, or even the impressionists.

Affandi considered as one of most renowned expressionist painters of the twentieth century. Born in 1970, Affandi’s artistic achievement afforded him the opportunities to hold solo exhibitions in Europe and to paint in different parts of the world. Affandi was passionate about his country and concern his feeling about the land and its people. He only painted what he observed and particularly fond of Bali and Javanese culture. Painted in 1980, the present Lot is a portrayal of a traditional Balinese mythological character known as the Barong. The lion-like creature is the king of all spirits and symbolizes the Good.

He is an enemy of Rangda, the demon queen and mother of Evil. The battle between Barong and Rangda is featured in the Barong Dance to represent the eternal battle between good and evil.

Painting directly from paint tubes onto raw canvas, Affandi used primary color to present the energy of the depicted moment. He described the dancing barong in dynamic with spontaneous strokes of Barong’s black hairy body. The vibrating lines and colors are spreading from his fingers, palms and wrists that demonstrate an outstanding energy-driven expressionism and a profound attempt to root his subject matter to the cosmic.

Auke Cornelis Sonnega An artist’s quest to find inspiration and spiritual contentment can take him on a long voyage far away from home. Such was the journey for Dutch artist Auke Cornelis Sonnega. Born in Leeuwarden (1910) and educated at the Kunstnijverheidsschool in Amsterdam (School of Arts and Crafts), Sonnega first set foot on Indonesia when he arrived in Batavia in 1935. Voyaging across the archipelago, Sonnega would paint in the mountains of North Sumatra (Parapat and Medan) as well as Java and Bali. After the war settled in Ubud in Bonnet’s old studio in Puri Kaleran he dedicated himself solely to painting. His style is fresh and unique, clearly influenced by his designer training and background. It is very influenced by Art Deco and often graphic, however, his larger canvases often transcend these limitations and can even be thought to have a mystical impact.

In 1951 he would meet the English linguist Husein Rofé in the Tampaksiring Guest House. Husein would subsequently introduce him to the charismatic Indonesian spiritual teacher Pak Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo in Yogjakarta. Subuh’s teachings and exercises (latihan), which evoked extraordinary insight upon those who practiced it, also exercised a profound and immediate effect on the subject matter and visuals seen in Sonnega’s paintings. Most of his spiritual works were inspired by Bali and stand out in stark contrast to his more commercial stylized portraits. He also made numerous portraits of young men and portraits of enigmatic pretty Balinese girls. These are very stylized and use a brightpalate with strong outlining of his subjects. Sonnega, like Bonnet, stayed in Bali until 1957 when he was forced to leave by the Indonesia authorities in the era of Confrontation. He returned to Holland in 1959 and died in Den Haag in 1963.

Lee Man Fong Lee Man Fong was one of a rare artist who received honor by critics and collectors across Asia. As an Oriental artist, Lee has renewed and transformed Western oil painting by imbuing it with the essence of Chinese ink painting, achieving a mutual identity between subject and object, at the same time vastly opening the restrictions on traditional Chinese painting. In short, he created a unique “Man fong style”.

Doves has become Lee Man Fong’s beloved and sought after works in spite of Goldfishes and other animals such as horses, cockatoos, tigers and dogs. Lee Man Fong’s painting of Doves is noteworthy. Since some forty years ago, his animal themes had made a far reaching accomplishment and recently eagerly sought after in Europe and America. A testimony to his mastery of technique and realization of theme, this painting depicts the world of the doves as peaceful and calm, but at the same time dynamic. The doves in pairs symbolize a good match, which may be further extended to mean “peaceful coexistence.”

Chusin Setiadikara Born in Bandung on March 4th 1949, Chusin Setiadikara studied drawing and painting from one of the Indonesian old masters, Barli Sasmitawinata, from 1976 until 1980.

He made an in-depth observation of what he would paint so that there was a spiritual level in his work, as he showed in several paintings of his works which he had emotionally involved with. For Chusin, painting with a photographic realism approach is not just copying reality onto the canvas, but the style of photographic realism is also considered an idiom. In addition, Chusin also uses an approach that is not just material. Chusin’s engagement with realistic forms is not based on this premise; it is linked with photography. Realistic portrayal in his paintings is not the same as the kind of realistic portrayal considered to have died out with the advent of photography.

In 1996, Chusin represented Indonesia at the ASEAN ART AWARDS in Bangkok, Thailand. He emerged as one of the best 5 winners at the Philip Morris ASIAN ART AWARDS. In 2005, Chusin participated at “The 2nd Beijing International Art Biennale” in Beijing, China. He received the “Excellent Work Award” for his work titled “Float and the Might 1”. Chusin’s work “Pasar Kintamani III” can be found in the permanent collection of the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum.

Hendra Gunawan Hendra Gunawan is credited as one of the artist who records Indonesia's past events, through his paintings. Like many of his peers during the revolutionary period of Indonesia, Hendra Gunawan paints with a bleak mood, using darker colors to illustrate daily lives. An important factor that should be noted from this period is the change of color choices in Hendra's painting. Dark, gloomy colors transformed into bright and vibrant colors.

Hendra Gunawan is an important figure who stimulates the development of modern art at the beginning of Indonesia's Independence years. His paintings depicts daily lives of people from different levels of society. Born in 1918, Hendra tropical colors were derived from the colorful life he had been experiencing. Hendra uses the female body as the object of his painting because through the object, the artist attempts to communicate various expressions of a woman’s life. The female characters exist in their daily activities, in their most relaxed moments in the role of a mother. For Hendra, memories of his mother plays an important role in his life which later gives significant influence in his paintings. The women figures are always depicted as having a multiplicity of roles that illustrate strength and bravery, but also grace and nurturing like illustrated in the present lot. Hendra’s keen interest in traditional elements can be seen in the depiction of batik motifs that support the presence of objects and paintings as a whole.

Lee Man Fong Born in Canton, China, 1913, Lee Man Fong was one of a rare artist who received honor by critics and collectors across Asia. As an Oriental artist, Lee man Fong has renewed and transformed Western oil painting by imbuing it with the essence of Chinese ink painting, achieving a mutual identity between subject and object, at the same time vastly opening the restrictions on traditional Chinese painting. In short, he created a unique “Man-fong style”.

Besides his great intense in observing animal themes and figures, lee also made may paintings of flowers arrangement. He represent his flowers in a respectful light, showing the artist’s experiment in composition, colors, and aesthetics.

His painting usually framed in his own design that sometimes becomes one unity to the object of the painting. The subject, composition and the frame are all part of the artist’s expression, which he indulged with opulent extravagance.

Adolfs spent his youth in Java and received at home his first artistic inspirations. His father, Gerardus Cornelis Adolfs, was an architect and a versatile amateur (painter, photographer, piano and violin player as well as a pole vaulter). Adolfs studied architecture in Amsterdam.

After graduating, he was drawn back to Java, where he designed houses in Yogyakarta, Surakarta and Surabaya. But soon he swapped the drawing pen for the dry-point, pencil and brush and from then on dedicated his whole life to painting. He was already well known as a talented advertising illustrator, when in 1924 he was first introduced to the public of Yogyakarta as a painter, water-colourist and graphic artist. Each year Adolfs travelled for a few months. He had studios in Florence, Rome, Vienna, Budapest, Prag and - together with his Japanese friend Léonard Tsuguharu Fujita - in Paris and exhibited his works of art internationally (Netherlands Indies, Japan, Singapore, United States, England, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, France, Switzerland). The main subjects of his work were scenes of Java, Bali, Japan and of North Africa (market sceneries, cock-fights, landscapes and townscapes). In 1940 – shortly before the occupation of the Netherlands – Adolfs came back to Europe and settled in Amsterdam. On 22 February 1944, during an exhibition at the Kunstzaal Pollmann, the largest part of Adolfs’ paintings was destroyed by the bombardment of Nijmegen. Adolfs kept on working. He wrote and illustrated a book about his memories of Surabaya and exhibited in many well-known galleries. He lived mostly in Amsterdam - interrupted by longer stays in Scandinavia, France, Spain, Italy and North Africa. In 1967 he retired to a small village in South-Holland. On 1 February 1968, G.P. Adolfs died in ’s-Hertogenbosch, North Brabant.

Hendra Gunawan There is no doubt that Hendra Gunawan is one of Indonesia’s greatest pioneers of modern art. Using non-traditional, European visual elements, he nevertheless created works which were Indonesian in feeling and in experience. Though Hendra’s art was, from the very beginning focused towards celebrating common people and their struggle that depicts his deep feeling and irony inspiring perspective of life’s most fundamental issue: freedom and hunger, Hendra also love the land and paint some in his several themes. He used the natural painting such as mountain and beach as background to his main subject.

The stylized figures, landscapes features and the decorative approach to color are perhaps influenced by Javanese illustration and design. Hendra’s paintings have formed a modern Indonesian folk art where they can be seen as the illustrations of a new mythology.

Like many painters, Balinese traditions have become such a unique and interesting object to paint. From the ancient motifs, the dancers, the boat, the ceremony, people’s daily life and not to forget the Barong dances. The present lot illustrated the Balinese mythological character known as Barong; the mythical animal personifies the king of all Good spirits (Rangda). Tiny figures on the background still shows Hendra distinctive stylized figures of exaggerated profiles, with long necks, protruding noses. The rich color inhabit a breathtakingly beautiful paradise of fertile land, rich seas, majestic mountains, rivers, and spectacular beaches.

He died in 1988 and remembered as a western vigorous painter and an oriental unique oil painting painter.

Lee Man Fong is famous painter who captures gold fishes in magnificent way. Here, light is of prime importance and the subjects are consistently bathed in a luminous glow as presented in this lot.

Some gold fishes are swimming freely in the space of an aquarium, still with his essential element by using the light, reflecting the sun’s radiance, Lee success to bring all the goldfishes as a depiction of calmness. The background, unlike the flat, void spaces of Chinese paintings, is likewise illuminated by an almost mysterious glow of white sunlight. Therefore the subjects, reflecting the sun’s radiance, seem also to be lit from the back, creating the effect of “glowing silhouettes”.

Srihadi Soedarsono The merging of spiritual and physical control obtained in dance obviously appeals to the philosophical Srihadi. Some of his figurative paintings, especially the dancers, look deceptively similar, and that the figures have become stereotypes, but one should try to appreciate and study the details and minimal variations. Srihadi pays particular attention to the characteristic of the dancer and the artistic form of the dance. Every dance has its language or vocabulary of movement and type of costume, all of which imbued with philosophical meaning.

Srihadi gives us many variants in this new approach to the depiction of the dance. When he first started to focus on the idea of movement, he did so by paying with the parallelism of gestures and by emphasizing the realistic aspect of the dancer’s bodies. Color was then relatively secondary. By the early 1990’s rhythm had taken a life of its own, as shown by the vibrant dynamism of the dancer. In painting the present lot, the dancers’ eyes remain transfixed even as their body movements are transformed into a feast of glittering color. Even so, and however much the costumes of the dancers drift rhythmically over the canvas surface, it is in fact the artist’s working of this background that embodies the idea of movement.

This means he has to make a journey into time to be able to make these people and shapes the objects of his artworks. But, the paintings that show special objects with clear time that is today are a series of his selfportraits paintings. He makes use of any available pictures and photographs.

He also uses computer using Photoshop and Corel Draw program. By using computer he wants to pursue the accuracy of facial character, precision of composition and coloring. After printing the image, he manually paints the image in scale adjusted with the canvas. With soft brushstrokes, color or black-white halftone technique, he tries to obtain certain degree of plasticity of the object. He illustrates the object in great details, especially for the series of his history parody. His hatching and brushstroke technique almost reach the quality of photography, even if viewed from very close range.

S. Sudjojono Sindudarsono Sudjojono was born in Kisaran North Sumatra, on December 14, 1913.

He studied painting from Mas Pringadi and a Japanese painter, Chiyoyi Yazaki. In 1937 he founded the Persagi Indonesian Artists Association in Jakarta. In 1970 he was awarded recognition in art by the Indonesian government. His works have been exhibited in the Netherlands and in the Fukuoka Art Museum in Japan (1980). Local exhibitions have been held in Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Denpasar and Bandung. He died in Jakarta (1986).

Sudjojono was a prolific artist and writer. His artistic oeuvre covers a wide spectrum, from paintings, sketches, drawings, public art and reliefs as well as ceramic works. His paintings often derived from his fantasy and memory he personally experienced. He often put joyful humor as a cloak over his painting. Sometimes, he incorporated elements derived from places that he had seen in books or actually visited.

S. Sudjojono paintings have a typical harsh and wild strokes as if the paint has been poured directly onto canvas. His observation of his surroundings seemed spontaneous, as though they were snapshots of views that appealed to him. Since he often painted landscape paintings, Sudjojono never stood against art of the landscape. In the period after 1965, Sudjojono’s landscape painting show a social-nationalist tendency, where in them elements of life and progress can be found, apparent in the depictions of farmers and fisherman at works and so on. These visual elements are lodged Sudjojono’s dream of ‘utopia’ and concern for the improvement of the peasant life.

Sudjojono’s landscape paintings also raise concern towards the lives of the people and the environment within the area. Therefore, what makes Sudjojono’s landscape painting differ from the mooi indie is that he depicted the beauty and the wealth of the Indonesian landscape with its current problems and challenges. Moreover, the landscape do not illustrate physical reality of the nature, instead they represent the landscape of the artist’s mind.

I Nyoman Meja I Nyoman Meja was born in Banjar Taman, Ubud 1952. He is among the most successful 1980s painters in Ubud. His works are dedicated in bold colors featuring anatomically correct figures.

Hence his paintings show a fascinating assimilation of traditionalism and modernism. The traditionalist of Meja’s works is signified by his technique which still uses penelak and the illustration of his setting (houses, field, paddy fields) that strongly referred to Ubud style. While his modernity is describe with the lighting rationalization over its painting’s objects therefore Meja’s pieces can be categorized as post-traditional ones.

During 1970s, he met Rudolf Bonnet. Through this meeting, his modern vision developed. His paintings depict various themes. Composition of masks once occupied his style. But is 1980s, he started to paint the world of children and his reputation soon enhanced. Children blackand-white-checkered cloth (Poleng) are illustrated in various scenes, such as variety of parades, cockfighting, and kecak performance.

Meja’s paintings are collected by famous Museums in Bali. He has several talented pupils. Among them are I Wayan Matra, I Wayan Sukadana, I Made Artawa and I Wayan Asta. His painting once entered the national art competition, Indonesia Philip Morris Art Awards, as a finalist in 1997 and the winner of Indofood Art Awards 2002.

Affandi Affandi was taught at the Indonesian Academy of Fine Arts in Yogyakarta in early 1955. He received a scholarship from the U. S. government to study arts education in 1957, after participating in International exhibitions in Brazil and Italy. He was made an Honorary Professor of Painting by Ohio State University, and in 1974 was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Singapore. He also received the Peace Award from the Dag Hammarskjoeld Foundation in 1977, and the title of Grand Maestro in Florence, Italy.

Affandi’s interest in humanity made him learned a lot about the anatomy of human body in the beginning of his career. Affandi often painted his self portrait with people in his inner circle. He painted among others his families, his friends, his collectors, his house and his favourite objects like his pipe. Affandi felt he no longer had to fill up the whole canvas, so there are many “empty” spaces in his painting. Yet this is not because he was unable to fill the space, he realizes the quality of this emptiness and makes it a part of painting’s structure.

His significant and distinguished works from Affandi was his strong lines, expressive gestural scribbles and spontaneous. He did not ornament figures, the lines were produced by his technique squeezing the paint directly from the tube onto the canvas, using his fingers and palms to direct the medium over its surface and never mixed his colours. He approached paint as a medium in the same way that he did for pencil and charcoal, subduing the subtle modalities of colour to the movement of the hand and the creation of line.

Adrien Jean Le Mayeur De Merpres Born in Brussels (Belgium), on 9 February 1880, in the nobility and linked with the Belgium royal family, he was the son of a painter. Adrien was very keen on becoming a painter himself, but his father insisted that he should complete his studies first. He graduated as a civil engineer (architect), but soon after devoted himself to painting.

Le Mayeur’s works were executed with free-flowing and bold, strong strokes, in bright and gay colours. When his first visit to Bali, he was deeply impressed by the temple rituals and dances, and by a girl called Ni Pollok, a legong dancer, in particular. Balinese culture, nature and Ni Pollok had startled him of the strong magic of Bali and totally changed his vision about life. In 1933, Ni Pollok had turned 16 and was too old to dance the legong, so she agreed to be Le Mayeur’s model. It was a local tradition that a legong dancer is at her best only between 12 through 17 years. She became the main theme of his paintings and in 1935, when she was 18, they married in a traditional Balinese ceremony.

His works, be they sketches done in light colours or bright-coloured oil paints, showed that they were inspired by the brilliant and clear tropical sunlight. His brightly-clad, energetic and graceful dancers, dancing to the beat of the drums and bells, or his women, kneeling beside the loom weaving sarong cloth, fully demonstrated the tranquil and fine life of the Balinese. He captured the daily life of people he personally observed around his surroundings and poured them into canvas in stunning expression.

Chen Wen Hsi 陈文希 Born in Baigong, Caozhu, 1906. Chen Wen Hsi studied art at the Hsin Hwa Art Academy in Shanghai. He became a lecturer at the Nangyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore. His paintings were strongly influenced by Chan (Zen) and the unorthodox Qing School of Yangzhou. He actively participated in several exhibitions outside Singapore which also incidentally promote Singapore. He was awarded the Public Service Star from the President Tun Yusof Bin Ishak and received honorary doctorate from the National University of Singapore. He became famous since his oil study on formalism, cubism, and expressive abstraction.

Chen Wen Hsi is Singapore’s foremost painter that combines Chinese and Western techniques in his semi abstract work. Chen Wen-hsi is renowned for his skill in painting animal themes. Chicken, gibbons, herons, carps and squirrels are some of his favourite subjects. Wen Hsi’s constant eagerness to strike for something new led him to learn finger painting – a technique that dates from the Tang Dynasty. This drawing style has enabled him to produce unpredictable broken stroke on paper. He developed his skill in finger painting, ink-and-brush, oil, sketches, abstracts and semi-abstract techniques.

Every subject he paints, whether lotuses, gibbons, egrets, monkeys, squirrels, birds, or flowers and trees, is palpably vibrant.

Willem Gerard Hofker Born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 1902. He studied arts at the academy of Fine Arts, Amsterdam and also learnt under painter W. Witsen and Isaac Israels. He once lived in Bali from 1938 – 1944 together with his wife, Hofker-Reuter. His works were undoubted. His color, texture surface, and contrastive control showed his maturity of painting study. Willem Hofker was a renowned and much sought-after portraitist. Between 1927 and 1981 Hofker made notes on over 1600 paintings, watercolors, etchings, lithos and mezzotints. His color, texture surface, and contrastive control showed his maturity of painting study. His drawing was very refined and smooth, also very poetic.

Besides inspired by Balinese women figure, Hofker also painted portraits of his relatives. All are captured in sharply-observed and widely varied attitudes. If no relatives were at hand, Willem would sit before a mirror and draw himself. Hofker left an even larger number of portraits – in various techniques – of his mother, all bearing witness to his great love. In later years his wife Maria was a frequent and very patient subject of portraits in all kinds of techniques. The present lot illustrates one of his objects in portrait paintings. Hofker used a remarkable striking way with the eyes, involving infinite nuances of color and splendid downward illumination.

His entire portrait is typified by its especially capable expression, carefully considered compositional unity and subtle color nuances and grey tints in shaded planes. Even the smallest detail is the result of his awareness of the essence of his models.
