拍品資料及來源
His fascination with domesticity, and the security it promised, was a response to the tension surrounding the Persagi (Persatuan Ahli-ahli Gambar Indonesia) and Indische-Holland kunstkring community. Lee Man Fong’s paintings were a deliberate divorce from his environment. He desired a quiet aesthetics as seen in his works, images that are innocent from revolutions, existing within a harmonious frame.
Lee Man Fong embraced the Chinese principle “Breath, Resonance, Life, Motion” within his portraits. He sought to capture an individual’s spirit through their posture, rather than through a formal likeness. Therefore the young weaver’s kneeling position, the delicate curve of her hand holding the thread, her downward gaze, all serve as vehicle for transmitting such ideals. A Balinese Woman Weaving is an excellent portrayal of the artist’s respect towards the feminine. Untouched, and alone, the young woman commands an ageless world that is separate from the penetrating gaze of the viewer. With her loom and thread, she is witness to what once was.
