Tjakra I Nyoman (b. Penestanan, Bali, 1945)Pulang Belanja (From The Market)

This is a painting by a member of the Young Artists of Bali, formed under the guidance of Arie Smit in the 1960s. Here Nyoman Tjakra painted a point in time when people met at an intersection. A man is just coming out from his house, while two women have just returned from the market, carrying the goods they have purchased or brought back, in baskets, on top of their heads. A young boy is seen following one of the women. Another woman carries firewood she has just collected from the woods outside the village, while a man and his child are also just returning from a hard day’s work in the market. A woman is just about to enter her house gate carrying a vessel of water she has just collected from the water spring. Beyond the village, we can see a woman in front of her house, who is praying. in this community everyone has each their own role to play
