An artist in java and other islands of indonesia
Thus this pleasant book, which is other than an art book, other than a travel book, other than a log. Naturally, as an artist, I am chiefly concerned with the author's visualisation of the strange and beautiful, and often terrible, country, and of the exquisite dramatic life which he found there. I have long been interested in the development of Jan Poortenaar's art, and in the exotic life of the Malay Archipelago he seems to me to have found a subject eminently suited to his individual sense of design and decorative interpretation. In the hope that others will become better acquainted with his work through this volume, I sign myself as its god-parent.
