paniting Ubud style
Few artists took much interest in secular subjects until the early decades of the twentieth century. In the 1930s, however, Balinese painters in the village of Ubud started to experiment with more realistic techniques such as perspective and the use of light and shadow, and out of this came the desire lo paint episodes from real life, including market and temple scenes. The Ubud style is now characterized by an overwhelming sense of activity,with each character engaged in some transaction, chore or conversation, and any intervening space taken up with tiny details such as images of offerings, insects or animals.The two expatriate artists most commonly associated with the emergence of the Ubud style are the German Walter Spies and the Dutchman Rudolph Bonnet, both of whom lived in the Ubud area in the 1930s. Most of the best-known Ubud-style artists are represented in Ubucl’s major art museums; the paintings of Anak Agung Gede Sobrat are , particularly worth looking out for.
