The history of modern Indonesian art has noted a significant roles of two art academies in Indonesia contributing to the development of two distinct artistic styles as a result of different teaching philosophies. The Art Faculty of Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), notably the oldest art academy in Indonesia, was founded by the Dutch colonial government and responsible for giving birth to artists whose works focused on Western art theories and characters. The Fine Art Academy in Yogyakarta (ASRI), on the other hand, was established by the Indonesian government to promote art with Indonesian values and expressions. Each academy has given a long list of outstanding artists and important artworks, different in their approach in dealing with subject-matters, techniques and styles, hence incredibly significant in enriching the features of modern art in Indonesia. Roedyat’s artworks exemplify the characteristic of those of the Bandung school. Although Roedyat only briefly attended the academy in Bandung, many of his works showed the artistic tendencies of the Bandung School of Western artistic formalities, including abstractionism and cubism. The present lot demonstrates Roedyat’s sensitivity in exploring the cubist style. His outstanding skill results in a display of sensuality and precision in depicting the female nude.
