In turn, I became close friends with an art dealer and galleryowner in Bandung named Art Land Lee. Mr. Lee introduced me to some ofthe leading artists of Indonesia, my favorite of which was the Chinese-Indonesian artist, Lee Man Fung. His home and studio were in a “compoon”or village, on the outskirts of Djakarta.His residence very much resembled the bamboo houses depicted in hispaintings. His studio consisted of four rooms in the back of his house, behindthe compound’s main road. The walls were lined with stacked paintings, oneleaning against the other. Lee Man Fung was a gracious and personable manand on many occasion, we would spend a lovely afternoon together drinkingtea and engaging in delightful conversation.During one of my visits though, I found Lee Man Fung disturbed andfrustrated. As President Sukarno’s palace artist, he had been commissioned
to paint an underwater mural for the new Hotel Indonesia, the country’s firsttourist hotel. I found Lee Man Fung’s painting of the mural to be awonderfully executed, underwater scene which covered the entire end wall.President Sukarno however thought it too dark and even though the muralwas finished, the president had demanded Lee Man Fung to “lighten it up.”Unfortunately, this request required Lee Man Fung to repaint the mural.On that day, I bought the painting which lifted his spirits immensely. When Iwas ready to leave, he told me he would frame the painting himself with awonderful solid teak frame of his design. The painting, in his own Chinesestyle, is that of an Indonesian “compoon.” The painting depicts the area’sserenity as well as the artist’s longing for his Chinese homeland.’Note from the Consigner$60,000-100,000
