Affandi Erotic(2)

 
         One of The Funniest Stories in Indonesia Art History
  

One of the funniest stories in Indonesia Art History, it happened in 1945, on the occasion of the first drawing session in Yogyakarta. Affandi, Henoha, and Suyana Kerton had asked a local 'woman' (prostitute) to pose for them during a drawing session. She accepted if she was paid for it. But when the artist asked her to take off her clothes, she didn't feel comfortable. Then she proposed 'I will take off my clothes if you all do the same thing'. They all undressed and proceeded to scketch in the nude. This one is very first nude live drawing classes in Indonesia was held.
