Drawing from a wide variety of sources, the thesis examines the development and characteristics of a new artistic form in the area of painting, variously described as ‘Balinese Modernism’, ‘New Balinese painting’ or ‘Tourist art’. I also investigate the origins and the perpetuation of the popular myth regarding the perceived role of Walter Spies as the instigator of this art. Through examining his cultural position in relation to the Balinese, I examine Spies’ role as a colonial figure and as a ‘servant’ of colonial cultural policy. This post-colonial examination takes into account the broader historical, political, cultural and economic realities of colonial Bali at that time. I deal with theoretical and methodological issues some of which make such a study problematic. In particular, how to deal with the ‘subaltern’ in historical discourse and the dangers of either essentialising the ‘Other’ or diminishing hegemonic imperial processes through a cultural relativism which seeks to value the importance of the ‘subaltern’ voice. In addition to this, the problematic and sometimes misleading use of biography is also investigated. I have synthesised a number of concepts to develop my post-colonial approach, based around the ideas of contact, contact languages and influence. These are used to explain the development of new artistic forms, as well as the discourse and processes which both moulded and reflected them. The study contributes to knowledge through the fresh analysis of the discourse of ‘texts’ and parts of ‘texts’ not previously used or explored in a postcolonial theoretical framework. Interviews with Balinese artists and the correspondence of Spies are deconstructed, as well as the films and paintings of Spies which are analysed as colonial discourse rather than as isolated aesthetic products. This project provides a new critique of the creation and perpetuation of colonial discourse through biography and imagery which I propose has much broader implications in the ‘post-colonial’ world. Introduction Bali has had a disproportionate amount of academic attention over the last 100 years, when analysed in relation to other parts of Indonesia, for instance, and from the 1930s onwards, ethnologists and anthropologists flocked to Bali to study its ‘unique’ and ‘unsullied’ culture. As a result of the work of Margaret Mead (Mead, 1935;1950), Gregory Bateson (Bateson, 1973), Jane Belo (Belo, 1970), Colin McPhee (McPhee,1966;1985) and Miguel Covarrubias (Covarrubias, 1937), together with Bali’s general fame as a ‘paradise’, multiple spirals of discourse have grown from, and around, this small island. These have affected the residents of the Island and how they see themselves, as well as generating a multiplicity of perspectives of the island from political, historical, economic and cultural viewpoints. These strands of ideas have developed into a broad platform of research about the island, which in recent times has taken a more revisionist and post-colonial nature. Writers like Nordholt (Nordholt, 1996), Robinson (Robinson, 1995), Vickers (Vickers, 1989) and Picard (Picard 1996) have challenged and debunked the notion, which has tenaciously remained and which has continued to be promoted, of Bali as theLast Paradise (Powell, 1930)1. The nature and importance of ‘traditional’ culture in Bali has pervaded the discussion of the island in one form or another and the name of Walter Spies often appears as part of that discussion. This study arises from an interest in the work of Walter Spies that was instigated by a book I bought in Bali in 1992 by Rhodius & Darling (Rhodius & Darling, 1980) which contained images by Walter Spies which had an instant appeal to me as a Western visitor to Bali. I had never heard of this artist and subsequently realised that his work was not well known in Europe despite his contacts with the German art world during the well-documented post-first World War period in European art history. As with the pictures, the picaresque romance of his story also initially appealed to me as a European traveller to Bali. My subsequent contacts with other visitors to Bali, some of whom had also purchased the same text, indicated a similar response to his paintings and life story. When I re-examined this text in 1996 with the idea of researching Walter Spies further, it became apparent that there were a number of questionable assumptions and omissions in this work, particularly in relation to Spies’ portrayed position as a colonial resident and father-figure to the Balinese artists. Further research indicated that this type of view was common to colonial discourse and that Spies’ position, work and influence would benefit from being reassessed from a post-colonial 1 Table of Contents Introduction 1 The theoretical and methodological basis of this thesis 12 Introduction 12 Methodology and sources 15 Theoretical approaches and sources 22 Summary 43 Endnotes 45 The development of painting in Bali in a historical context 47 Introduction 47 The ‘traditions’ of Balinese painting 48 The first arrival of the colonialists 52 The colonisation of southern Bali and the mythologising of conquest 53 ‘Babi express’: baliseering and the arrival of the tourists 59 The characteristics of ‘traditional’ and ‘modern’ Balinese painting 63 Summary 68 Endnotes 69 The modern in Balinese art 71 Introduction 71 The conventions for Balinese painting 72 The discourse concerning motifs of moderntiy in Balinese art 76 Case Study: the temple at Jagaraga 83 The Western objectification of the Balinese and their environment as ‘picturesque’ 87 The Balinese ‘modernists’ 90 The conventions of Balinese tourist art in the work of Walter Spies 94 Summary 97 Endnotes 100 A discussion of Walter Spies’ life and the construction of a particular narrative 102 Introduction 102 The invention of ‘Walter Spies’ 104 The life and death of Walter Spies 106 ‘Bali’s most famous resident’ : popular discourse about Spies and his life in Bali 114 Summary 120 Endnotes 122 Walter Spies as a colonial figure 125 Introduction 125 Sex tourism and relations of power in colonial Bali 126 The purge: the arrest and trial of Walter Spies 129 Discourse on the nature of Spies’ homosexuality 134 Reactions of the Balinese to the ‘new’ tourism and its results 139 Summary 142 Endnotes 145 A critical assessment of the painting and films of Walter Spies 148 Introduction 148 Spies as a ‘modernist’ 150 Spies as a film maker: The significance of Island of Demons and Kris 159 The real Bali’: an analysis of the Balinese paintings of Walter Spies 174 Balinese influences on Walter Spies 182 Summary 190 Endnotes 193 7.

Such a viewpoint could then challenge what appeared to be the popular Eurocentric view which largely diminished the contribution and capabilities of Balinese artists and Asian perspectives as a whole. It occurred to me that part of this difficulty was based on a Eurocentricity in art historical investigation of this subject, which was based on ‘Western’ post ‘Enlightenment’ notions such as genius, individuality and secularism that might not be particularly appropriate in assessing art arising in a different cultural context and non-Western location.

    SCAPES Island Trail your chauffeur; when asked to overtake, he regards you with bewildered incomprehension: “Overtake?” Balinese shiftlessness and cerebral inertia exasperate, particularly the anguished Japanese management with their brisk exactitude at newly-launched Hoshinoya. All that invigorates Bali is the ‘Chinese circus’. Certain resort lobbies, Ricky Utomo of the Bvlgari Resort chuckles, “are like a midnight sale” pulsating with Chinese tourists in voluble haberdashery, high-heeled, almost reeling into lotus ponds they hazard selfies on. The Bvlgari, whose imperious walls and august prices discourage the Chinese, say they had to terminate afternoon tea packages (another Balinese phenomenon) — can’t have Chinese tourists assail their precipiced parapets for selfies. The Chinese wed in Bali. Indians honeymoon there. That said, the isle inspires little romance. In the Viceroy’s gazebo, overlooking Ubud’s verdure, a honeymooning Indian girl, exuding from her décolleté, contuses her anatomy à la Bollywood starlet, but her husband keeps romancing his iPhone while a Chinese man bandies a soft toy to entertain his wife who shuts tight her eyes in disdain as Mum watches on in wonderment. When untoward circumstances remove us to remote and neglected West Bali National Park, where alone on the island you spot deer, two varieties, extraordinarily drinking salt water, we stumble upon Bali’s most enthralling hideaway and meet Bali’s savviest man, general manager Gusti at Plataran Menjangan (an eco-luxury resort in a destination unbothered about

  • Interpreting Balinese Culture
    Interpreting Balinese Culture: Representation and Identity by Julie A Sumerta A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Public Issues Anthropology Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2011 © Julie A. Sumerta 2011 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. Julie A. Sumerta ii Abstract The representation of Balinese people and culture within scholarship throughout the 20th century and into the most recent 21st century studies is examined. Important questions are considered, such as: What major themes can be found within the literature?; Which scholars have most influenced the discourse?; How has Bali been presented within undergraduate anthropology textbooks, which scholars have been considered; and how have the Balinese been affected by scholarly representation? Consideration is also given to scholars who are Balinese and doing their own research on Bali, an area that has not received much attention. The results of this study indicate that notions of Balinese culture and identity have been largely constructed by “Outsiders”: 14th-19th century European traders and early theorists; Dutch colonizers; other Indonesians; and first and second wave twentieth century scholars, including, to a large degree, anthropologists. Notions of Balinese culture, and of culture itself, have been vigorously critiqued and deconstructed to such an extent that is difficult to determine whether or not the issue of what it is that constitutes Balinese culture has conclusively been answered.

    ASEAN TOURISM PACKAGEs ASEAN TOURISM MALAYSIA, MINISTRy of TOURISM, Arts AND culture, Malaysia ToURISM PACKAGES JAN 2019 2019-2020 Petronas Twin Tower, Malaysia 2 | ASEAN TOURISM PACKAGES Foreword HONOURABLE Datuk Mohamaddin Bin Ketapi Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Malaysia It is with great pleasure that I pen a few words to acknowledge the efforts made to enhance the growth and development of ASEAN tourism through the publication of this online ‘ASEAN Tourism Packages 2019-2020’. ASEAN tourism is heading towards a very exciting period of vast potential development. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has projected that Asia Pacific will gain a major market share of new arrivals in tourism – an additional of 331 million beginning 2010 to reach 535 million by 2030. It is noteworthy that the Southeast Asia region is anticipated to grow at a faster rate compared with the global average during this period. Given this promising landscape of tourism, it is critical that ASEAN member nations work together to strengthen the region as one tourism destination. With ASEAN members advancing, enhancing and deepening strategic partnerships with one another, the integration will certainly bring about a more attractive and dynamic tourism industry. Subsequently, these efforts will also bring the peoples of ASEAN closer and lay a firm foundation for a more peaceful, stable and prosperous region. I am confident that given our long history of friendship together, we will advance ASEAN as a special community for tourism in the region to flourish. In this regard, I take the opportunity to thank and congratulate everyone involved in realising the ASEAN Tourism Packages, an important step towards an integrated tourism region.

His fellow country- of the previous century they were already enjoying the island’s ancient man, Rudolf Bonnet (1895-1978) produced large drawings, mostly character portraits, in a style resembling Jan Toorop. culture, breathtaking nature and friendly population. In 1932, the aristocratic Walter Spies (1895-1942), a German artist who had moved permanently to Bali in 1925, became known for his mystical Belgian, Jean Le Mayeur (1880-1958), made a home for himself in the tropical and exotic representations of Balinese landscapes. It is clear that the European painters were mainly fascinated paradise; he mainly painted near-nude female dancers and was thus known by the young Balinese beauties, who would pose candidly, and normally bare from the waist up.
