Hendra Gunawan - A Great Modern Indonesian Painter
Cover of the book published by the Ciputra Foundation
with essays by Agus Dermawan T. & Dr. Astri Wright
Painter, poet, sculptor, guerrilla fighter, teacher: these are but a few of the many faces of Indonesian artist Hendra Gunawan (1918-83). Although he is now acclaimed as one of Indonesia's greatest painters, he was for many years considered a security risk, hence his work was barely visible to public view. This is the first detailed book on the life and times of Hendra, and an aesthetic appraisal of his artistic merits. This book features, for the first time, a vast collection of his paintings and sculptures. An essential investment for all collectors of Hendra Gunawan's works.
