Here is my 2nd report of exploring Jakarta. Well, this is my favorite, because I wanna report about one of the greatest artist in Indonesia. Yups! He's Mr. Basuki Abdullah.
Well, when I was in Junior High School, I was interested in art. My teacher, Mr. Made, taught me a lot about art and the genre. So, I learn about Mr. Basuki Abdullah, a realism-naturalism artist.
I asked a friend of mine to accompany me visiting a museum in Cilandak named Basuki Abdullah Museum. Well, the building was Mr. Basuki's home at 1996. But after he passed away, the building became the museum of his masterpieces.
I was amazed to visit it. I could see the details of every paintings. I mean, WOW, how can a human make the details of a view? it takes time.
Well, here's some photo of the paintings. The tour guide said that I might take a picture, but I have to keep the distance from the canvas and there should be someone who posed with the paintings. hehehehe.
