Art
Balinese art has its origin in the richness of the Balinese culture and of the land itself.
There are loose classifications of artistic styles; classical or Kamasan; Ubud style developed in the 1930's under the influence of Pita Maha; Batuan from about the same time; Young Artists, started just after the war and influenced by the Dutch artist Arie Smit, and finally Modern or 'Academic' which is largely creative but always distinctly Balinese.
Museums and galleries can be found all over Bali; only a small selection is shown here. |
