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.

-
Fleichmann's introduction, i came to Bali as sculptor and the Balinese have been tremendous inspiration in my work. But sculpturing is slow work interwoven with many technicalities, its nature is such that i can give only crystallised symbols of life. But i found in Bali so much that was stimulting in the landscape, people, animal and religion...
Ga hanya Bali bung, seluruh nusantara akan memberi inspirasi. Sayang, Indonesia cuma dikenal Balinya -
interesting book to flip through. good to know balinese have their own language; there are active volcanoes; and, see so many photos of what life must've been like 90 years ago in bali
