Reflections of Faith - The Art of Bali: The History of Painting in Batuan 1834-1994

This beautifully illustrated book brings us into contact with the artists themselves and supplies an abundance of detail about Batuan painting, as well as documenting the basis of the art found there. The comprehensive summary of all the artists concerned, and the carefully selected illustrations chosen from all over the world, can also be used in establishing criteria for the judgement and selection of Balinese paintings from Batuan.

This book goes beyond the bounds of a mere guidebook for western readership, and is written with understanding and empathy. It therefore represents a contribution to the maintenance of a great artistic tradition and can be used to strengthen the awareness of Balinese culture.
