A Fine Balinese sculpture depicting a man dressed in traditional garb. Expertly carved and detailed. Balinese Man in Traditional clothing. Measures : 20 cm x 10cm x = ” x 8″ x 4inches. Balinese Art Pita Maha Art Deco sculptures are highly collectable. The Pita Maha arts society just celebrated its 80th anniversary. However, the life stories of maestros from the organization, such as I Nyoman Ngendon, Ida Bagus Made Poleng and Ida Bagus Made Nadera, are still not familiar to many people despite being the inspiration behind their remarkable paintings. Founded in Ubud, Bali, on Jan. 29, 1936, by the late Rudolf Bonnet, Walter Spies and Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati, Pita Maha held its first exhibitions in March and April of the same year. Support from art figures like I Gusti Nyoman Lempad and Tjokorda Gde Raka Sukawati enabled the organization of artists to change the paradigm of painting in Bali, from classical depictions of shadow puppets, mythology and religion, to more modern and secular themes. Bring a piece of Balinese culture to you home. Great gift for family, friends & loved ones. Collecting Tribal Art Is My Passion, Food For The Soul, I Have Been Collecting Tribal Art And Antiques For Well Over 25 Years, My Collecting Trips Have Taken Me To Many Distant Countries, The Artifacts Of Interest Are Authentic Tribal And Eth nographic Implements Used In Divination And Healing. My Travels Have Taken Me To Out Of The Way Places Where There Are No Cars Or Hotels, Some Of The Remote Places Are Only Reachable By Foot, So I Often Take Long Treks Into The Bush To Find Some Of These Rare Pieces, But Mostly Its A Question Of Being In The Right Place At The Right Time, My Collection Consists Of Ethnographic Material From Animist Tribal Peoples Of Africa Asia And South East Asia. However if you see something that you like, you can ask me if it is still available.
