This first extensive biography contains a range of S.Sudjojono's life and career, starting from his childhood in hard times, as well as his obvious role during the Indonesian War for Independence. Many good canvases of S. Sudjojono were created in that era and taking the theme of struggle. Daily lives of ordinary people had been another recurrent theme of his paintings, while his love to his country had given birth to Indonesian landscape paintings. In addition, the family, Mrs. Rose Pandanwangi Sudjojono and the daughters, had also been a theme we often find in his works. With such themes. S.Sudjojono's paintings seem to be easy to understand or to "read". However, behind the surface, there is always deep thought revealed - together with high standard of artistic technique.

In addition to Hendra Gunawan and Affandi, S. Sudjojono's name has been included in the triumvirates three artists who each had influence and power in establishing Indonesia's modern art history.
