Arie Smit: Mencari Cahaya Di Bali
ID Khazanah : Tulisan Lepas Source : http://majalah.tempointeraktif.com/id/arsip/1993/07/24/MEM/mbm.19930724.MEM5846. id.html Date of publication : 24 Juli 1993 Capture date : 2 April 2012 24 JULI 1993 Arie Smit: mencari cahaya di Bali Pelukis asal Belanda yang menetap di Bali, Arie Smit, tak cuma melukis dan mencari harta lewat karyanya. Dalam pergaulannya dengan penduduk setempat, ia menyumbangkan sebuah aliran yang sampai kini tetap punya pengikut: Young Artist. Inilah aliran yang lahir dari pergaulan Smit dengan anak-anak desa di sekitar Ubud, yang memberikan warna lain pada lukisan-lukisan tradisional Bali. Pengikutnya kini tak cuma anak-anak. Berkat jasa itu, antara lain, tahun lalu Smit mendapat penghargaan Dharma Kusuma dari Pemda Bali. Dalam usia 77 tahun sat ini, Smit memang tidak aktif berkeliling untuk merekam suasana Bali. Tapi ia tetap melukis di Vila Sanggingan, yang ia sebut pondok, di Desa Peliatan, Ubud. Di situlah ia menuturkan perjalanan hidupnya kepada Putu Wirata dari TEMPO. Aku memang gemar bertualang, tetapi aku tak menyangka akan menyerahkan seluruh hidupku pada Bali. Aku lahir di Zaandam, kota industri di Belanda, 15 April 1916. Ayahku Johanes Smit dan ibuku Elisabeth Ahling mewarisi perusahaan keluarga ''Smit Expeditie'', sebuah perusahaan transpor dan trailer yang sudah berumur 200 tahun lebih. Kami delapan bersaudara, empat lelaki dan empat perempuan. Ketujuh saudaraku bekerja di bidang bisnis dan pendidikan. Hanya aku sendiri yang ditarik oleh pesona dewi kesenian. Memang, sejak di bangku SD aku sudah menyukai pelajaran ilmu bumi dan mengetahui nama beberapa kota, pulau, dan danau di Indonesia. Waktu di kelas enam, aku punya teman baru dari Pulau Sumatera. -

The Philippines: Prospects in Business and the Arts
THE PHILIPPINES: PROSPECTS IN BUSINESS AND ARTS Sponsored by the Philippine Cultural Society (Singapore) In cooperation with Philippine Airlines. 26 TH October 2002, Hilton Hotel I am really happy to be here this afternoon with all my kababayans. I know you will be given a lot of talk about investment opportunities but I like to talk about some smaller investments that you might be interested namely Filipino artists. I can guarantee you that these investments will give you less risk, more enjoyment and the investment amount is very small. I am talking about investing in paintings specifically paintings by Filipino artists. I would like to show you some of the slides of our artists and as much as I would like to show many artists, I am afraid with the short notice and the time constraints, I am limited to what I have that is available. INTRODUCTION For me art is very personal and being brought up in the Philippines, living in the United States and Southeast Asian countries I have witnessed and interacted with many of our artists who are either visiting or working abroad. My views on the subject are probably very different from the rest of the panelists as I categorized the artists in a way that maybe different from academics and art critics. As you may have noticed, we have a great diversity when it comes to art as we have many different groups with many different influences. I am proud to say that we are rich when it comes to art and 1 that we, probably, have as many artists as we have islands in the Philippines. -
Balinese Cosmology: Study on Pangider Bhuwana Colors in Gianyar’S Contemporary Art
How to Cite Karja, I. W., Ardhana, I. K., & Subrata, I. W. (2020). Balinese cosmology: Study on pangider bhuwana colors in Gianyar’s contemporary art. International Journal of Humanities, Literature & Arts, 3(1), 13-17. https://doi.org/10.31295/ijhla.v3n1.127 Balinese Cosmology: Study on Pangider Bhuwana Colors in Gianyar’s Contemporary Art I Wayan Karja Indonesian Hindu University, Denpasar, Indonesia Corresponding author email: [email protected] I Ketut Ardhana Universitas Hindu Indonesia, Denpasar, Indonesia Email: [email protected] I Wayan Subrata Universitas Hindu Indonesia, Denpasar, Indonesia Email: [email protected] Abstract---Adat (custom) and religion cannot be separated in the context of Balinese culture. One of the aspects of Balinese culture is the concept of mandala, called pangider bhuwana. Based on Balinese culture and religion, the Balinese mandala, is formally known as pangider bhuwana. The main focus of this essay is to explore the way the artist expresses and visualizes, using the colors of the mandala. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on the methods that the colors of the Balinese mandala are visualized in Gianyar's contemporary painting. Keywords---contemporary painting, cosmology, pangider bhuwana colors, visualization. Introduction Balinese cosmology is depicted in mandala form as religious and cosmic symbology, which is used to unify the Self. Based on the Balinese Hindu beliefs and tradition, each direction of the compass embodies specific characteristics (Bandem, 1986; Cameron, 2016; Chopra & Kafatos, 2017; Casas et al., 1991). The most important characteristic is color, while other characteristics include a protective entity, a script, a form of movement, and a balancing force, to name just a few. -
Philippine Documents in Mexico 587
PHILIPPINE D'OCUMENTS IN MEXICO CARLOS QUIRINO As AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CELEBRATION IN 1964 OF THE Philippine..Mexican Friendship' Year, we were able to secure a complete list of documents on the Philippines from the Archivo General de la Naci6n and the Biblioteca Nacional in Mexico City, totaling in all 4,129 documents and manuscripts. These were made after examining index cards of some 229,260 documents, and ex.. elude those in the Ramo de Filipinas which we had acquired several years earlier. Out of the 4,129, documents listed, we secured the microfilm copies of 798 which we considered of importance or interest to local historiographers. For some generations, 0111'" scholars have' suspected that in Mexico there existed countless documents on the Philippines that would greatly broaden our knowledge of the Spanish colonial re gime. Dr. James A. Robertson, co-editor of the monumental. 55 volume set "The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898" and incidentally the first Director of the National Library, failed to visit Mexico in his extensive trips of research, and-merely repeated what he had heard existed there from Dr. H. E. Bolton of Texas State' University. (See Bibliography, Vol. LIII,pp. '38-40.) In 1957 two Filipino scholars visited that country for the purpose of finding what documents of interest to Filipinos were to be found there. Dr. Gregorio F. Zaide, author of numerous textbooks on history, reported enthusiastically to the Philippine Historical Association on the existence of "valuable" documents there. As he was working alone for' a short time, he was able to make only a sketchy listing, and' unfortunately permitted enthu siasm to override accuracy. -

Museums As Cultural Tourism Attractions in Ubud Bali Indonesia
International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 6, Issue 10, October-2015 278 ISSN 2229-5518 Museums as Cultural Tourism Attractions in Ubud Bali Indonesia Ida Bagus Kade Subhiksu Udayana University, Bali, Indonesia Email: [email protected] I Wayan Ardika Udayana University, Bali, Indonesia I Nyoman Madiun Udayana University, Bali, Indonesia Abstract— This study explores museum management using five museums located throughout Ubud as case studies, including The Blanco Museum, Museum Puri Lukisan, Agung Rai Museum of Art (ARMA), The Rudana Museum, and Neka Art Museum. The research was conducted between January and June 2014 involving 82 foreigner museum visitors, 79 domestic museum visitors, and five museum owners as participants. Museum management, from the perspective of foreign and domestic visitors, are measured based on visitors’ perception on the architecture, collection, service quality, cleanliness, ambiance, and hospitality of the museum and the degree to which the museum meets the expectations of both foreign and domestic visitors. Museum management from the perspective of managers are based on the founders’ idealism, uniqueness, cultural preservation, and the museum’s role in supporting and sustaining tourism in Ubud, which can be described as follows: Each museum has noble idealism, although there are variance among the museums, still these variance implies noble significance which is to support the sustainability of tourism in Ubud. The role of museums in becoming the main tourism attractions for Ubud, while at the same time as an institution for cultural preservation, is well supported by the local government. The development of Ubud museums as tourism attractions is closely related to the development of other sectors, evidenced by several museum managers creating cooperative packages with several hotels in the area to promote their museums as tourism attractions. -
