Bali in the 1930's - P. de Bont; D. Fleischmann; A. Fleischmann
photographs and sculptures by Arthur Fleischmann
KORTE INHOUD
The year is 1937. The forty-two year old Hungarian sculptor Arthur Fleischmann stepped ashore onto Balinese soil from a small sailing boat that brought him across the Straits of Bali from Java. A new and exotic chapter in his life was about to open up in front of him. Armed with little more than a 35 mm Dolina camera and the sensitive eye of an artist, he recorded in over 1800 photographs the life, customs and beauty of the Balinese people.
Had it not been for the threat of the War in the Pacific, he would have remained there the rest of his life amongst the beauty, poise and calm of this exquisit paradise - sculpting and photographing the graceful young temple dancers that became his muses. Instead he escaped to Australia where he compiled a manuscript to accompany the Balinese photographs. In this book parts of that original manuscript are presented together with the best photographs from his collection.

Bewapend met een 35 mm Dolina camera en een gevoelig oog van een artiest, legde hij het leven, gewoontes en schoonheid van het Balinese volk vast in meer dan 1800 foto's. Als de dreiging van de oorlog in de Pacific er niet geweest was, zou hij voor de rest van zijn leven gebleven zijn op het mooie en rustige paradijs. Zich bezig h...
