behind the west. Decades in the field of graphic the academie of
Yogyakarta ISI even have no graphic limestone-copper engraving

Semua seniman terkenal telah membuat cetakan berupa lithography,
engraving atau serigraphy sejak ratusan tahun yang lalu. Dari Rembrant- to Rubbens-
Picasso-Miro-Matisse-Dali-Lautrec-Appel-LichtensteinHockney-Jasper
Johns dan begitu juga seniman Indonesia seperti Kerton-Blanco-Sudjojono-Bonnet-Kartika-Pirous Soedarsono-Widayat-Eka
Suprihadi-Apin Muchtar serta sang maestro Indonesia, Affandi.
Indonesia tertinggal jauh, terlambat dibandingkan negara barat.
Dalam masa sepuluh tahun dalam penggarapan grafik, Institut Seni
Indonesia Yogyakarta, meskipun tidak memiliki grafik berupa
lempengan tembaga, lempengan limestone (batu), mereka mengerjakannya
pada seng yang begitu lunak. Mereka tidak memiliki sebuat alat press
untuk mencetak hasil seni mereka,karena keterbatasan ini para
pelajar mengerjakanya dengan woodcut, linocut dan serigraphy yang
sangat sederhana. Kekurangan dari perlengkapan tersebut mengecilkan
hati seniman Affandi, sehingga ia belajar lithography, engraving dan
serigraphy di Eropa yang dikenal dengan Frans Masereel Art Centre,
dan sekarang Indonesia telah memiliki kesempatan untuk menunjukkan
karya Affandi dengan harga yang pantas untuk dikoleksi atau untuk
menghiasi rumah-rumah dan kantor-kantor dari karya seni pelukis
favorit mereka. |

Creating an
atmosphere of palpable secudtion, these images set in Matisse's
haremilike Mediterranean studio shimer with lush silks, sparkle
with trailing necklaces, and gleam with the velvety skin of his
model, Henriette Darricarrere. His visit to Morroco in 1911-12
seems to have fixed the intricate, decorative patterns in his
mind's eye forever. With these exotic odalisques in sumptuous
settings-his mostly fully-realized graphic work-Matisse devoted
himself to the mystery of female nude.A northern Frenchman, born near the Belgian border, Matisse always
enjoyed visiting southern France, conctantly seeking out warmer,
visually 'hotter' places.He first visited Nice in 1916 when he was
48, a symbolic return to the adventures of his youth and to his
brilliantly coloured Fauve period. He recounted his initial
impressions:'I left L'Estaque because of the wind, and I had caught
bronchitis there. I came to Nice to cure it and it rained for a
month. Finally I decided to leave. The next day the mistral chased
the clouds away and it was beautiful. I decided not to leave Nice,
and have stayed there practically the rest of my life'. He moved
hotel rooms several times before finally renting permanent quarters
from 1921 until 1938 at 1 place Charles-Felix, where the spacious
studio's theatre-like space became the background for his much-admired
odalisque pictures. At leats, he had a completely person alized
space in Nice. The 18th century building had unique views over the
atmospheric market, the city and beyond to Cannes and Cap d'Antibes.
Mattise's third-floor apartement had two principal working rooms
over looking the sea. The larger with two windows, fireplace,
densely patterned walpaper and drawind studio. To the decor he added
his own paintings and drawings, ethnic masks, fabric hangings and
paintings by Courbet. |
