A Parental Dispute
Details
I Gusti Nyoman Lempad (Taman, Ubud, ca. 1862-1978)
A Parental Dispute
Executed in, or before June 1938
Wash technique on paper, framed and glazed.
25.5 x 34 cm.
Lempad is indisputably the greatest artist of the modern Balinese age. Around 1900 he came to Ubud and left there an important legacy as undagi (architect) and sculptor. It is his work on paper that earned Lempad the largest part of his current reputation. Originally working in the traditional wayang style, Lempad's art evolved towards an increased stylisation with a remarkable 'clarity of line'. Although Lempad was the first teacher of the academy at Ubud, his very individual style never found any followers. Lempad was one of the co-founders of Pita Maha.
Inscribed by Bateson with the artist's name and the date: 'G Nj Lempad/6.1.38', on the reverse.
