Bali
Painter Ida Bagus Made Poleng (1915...., Tebesaya, Gianyar, Bali),
better known as Ida Bagus Made, first learned painting from
his father, Ida Bagus Made Kembeng (1897-1952), a Pitamaha artist's association
member who won the Argent Certificate of Merit and a Silver Medal at the 1937
International Exposition in Paris, France. Poleng also was
a member of Pitamaha. Some of his works featured figures based
on diagrams of Balinese magic. Under the influence of Rudolf Bonnet (Dutch,
1895-1978), he focused instead on scenes of daily life with more naturalistic
looking figures and foliage in softer colors.
