Book Synopsis Javanese Antique Furniture and Folk Art by : Bruce W. Carpenter
Download or read book Javanese Antique Furniture and Folk Art written by Bruce W. Carpenter and published by Didier Millet,Csi. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quirky, enigmatic and uniquely beautiful, the art and furnishings of Central and East Java's villages and palaces are little known to the art historians, museum curators and collectors of the world. Armed with all the charm and characteristics of folk art-bright, bold colours; na�ve forms and compositions; flattened perspective; anonymous origins; functionality; humour and social commentary-it is the product of a complex and ancient culture renowned for its ability to pick and choose from outside influences and incorporate them into the existing tradition without impairing the integrity of the original. With compelling, colourful photography, Javanese Antique Furniture and Folk Art celebrates this delightful art form that is just beginning to attract international attention and, with insight from the field's foremost experts, reveals the history and fascinating culture embodied in every piece of one of the world's most impressive collections of Javanese art.

Book Synopsis The Encoded Cirebon Mask by : Laurie Margot Ross
Download or read book The Encoded Cirebon Mask written by Laurie Margot Ross and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Encoded Cirebon Mask: Materiality, Flow, and Meaning along Java’s Islamic Northwest Coast, Laurie Margot Ross situates masks and masked dancing in the Cirebon region of Java (Indonesia) as an original expression of Islam. This is a different view from that of many scholars, who argue that canonical prohibitions on fashioning idols and imagery prove that masks are mere relics of indigenous beliefs that Muslim travelers could not eradicate. Making use of archives, oral histories, and the performing objects themselves, Ross traces the mask’s trajectory from a popular entertainment in Cirebon—once a portal of global exchange—to a stimulus for establishing a deeper connection to God in late colonial Java, and eventual links to nationalism in post-independence Indonesia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnic Jewellery from Indonesia: Continuity, Creativity and Evolution is a compelling introduction to the little known visual power and beauty of the body adornments used by the myriad peoples of Indonesia s outer islands, including Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, Sumba and Maluku. Illustrated with more than 500 rare pieces that have been accumulated since the 1970s by collector Manfred Giehmann, the book explores the depth and breadth of an ancient and magnificent tradition, revealing the fruits of careful documentation that has taken place over a period of decades. It will provide information on the origin, meaning and purpose of the jewellery items, as well as unique insights into the people who crafted and wore the jewellery for ritual or ceremonial functions. Ethnic Jewellery: Continuity, Creativity and Evolution is a definitive work on the subject and a testimony to the greatness of a fast-disappearing Indonesian tradition."
