Ida Bagus Nadera
"Spiritual Nature"
In the world of traditional Balinese painting the name of Ida Bagus
Made Nadera is considered a monumental painter. His works are
expressive, and he depicts themes that are almost never repeated. As a
pupil of Rudolf Bonnet and Walter Spies and a member of the Balinese
Pita Maha association of artists established in 1936, he was
interested in applying the principles of modernism in his work. He was
regarded as being the most advanced and intelligent painters of the
group, and therefore he was also tasked to become a mentor of the
other painters.
His paintings are represented in the collection of President Sukarno
as well as various important museums in Indonesia, as well as in
Europe. Life and his work is recorded in the book "Ida Bagus Made
Nadera, A Balinese Painter of Pita Maha", written by Agus Dermawan T
(Agung Rai Museum of Art, Bali, 2008).
