    Lot Essay

    When presented with the image of the present lot for the confirmation of its authenticity, Mrs. Sudjojono is reportedly to have commented that Pemandangan dekat Lido is truly a masterwork of her late husband.

    "May it be the will of God that your art be great even though it tells of the jasmine, may your art be great even though you sing of solitude, may your art be eternal even though you sing of death."

    Sudjojono (Jim Supangkat, Indonesian Modern Art and Beyond, The Indonesian Arts Foundation, Jakarta, 1997, p. 39).
