| The
center of Balinese painting, Ubud's Museum "Puri
Lukisan" has a permanent collection of modern works
of Balinese art dating from the turn of the century. There
are also several art galleries and homes of famous artists
here, including that of Dutch-born Hans Snel and the American
Antonio Blanco. The "young artist" style now
popular in Balinese painting was introduced by the Dutch
painter Arie Smith. In the past, other foreign painters
inspired Balinese artists to adopt western techniques
but traditional Balinese paintings are still made and
sold. Another museum called "Neka Museum" has
a wide collection of paintings both by Indonesian as well
as foreign artists who used to live in Bali. Ubud has
several small hotels. Located on a higher altitude with
a pleasant climate. |
