Affandi (Cirebon, W. Java, 1907 - Yogyakarta, 1990) Portrait of Painter Lim Kwie Bing

[ translate ]

This early painting by Affandi shows the maestro’s ability to paint realistically. Prior to developing the well-known pelototan technique, in which he would paint directly with oil colors from their tubes. a style which was later known to be his signature style, he painted using the more common realist technique. In this painting, he painted a portrait of his friend, the artist Lim Kwie Bing who was from Malang, East Java. Lim Kwie Bing is seen here holding not one, but two brushes in his hand. This painting attests to the length of his acquaintance with Lim Kwie Bing, and that he most probably visited him during his travels to Bali. It also tells a lot about the inclusive, multicultural relations artists had during the time.
Medium: oil on canvas
Size: 80 x 80 cm
Signature: signed with artist's monogram and dated (lower left):”AF 1941”
