Botanical Gardens, Bogor

Living in Bali from the 20s to 30s, this Russian-born German Artist from Moscow played a significant role in the development of Balinese Modern Art. By teaching shadow methods, perspective and the usage of Western art materials to locals, the artist contributed to various fields such as music, dancing, anthropology, and botany. This piece depicts Bogor Botanical Gardens, established in 1817, on the outskirts of Jakarta. This monochrome piece is finely detailed as commonly seen in Balinese paintings, bearing a poetic sentiment.
