Also one of my favorite painting from the 17:71 exhibition in National Gallery of Indonesia. This painting is by Lee Man Fong titled Flora and Fauna of Indonesian Archipelaho. Based on the description, Lee, as the official painter and curator of the Presidential Palace, was assigned to improve the aesthetics of the newly built Hotel Indonesia along with other artists. He chose to do a mural. This painting was derived from the mural. The original version is currently being displayed on Cipanas Presidential Palace. #painting #art #soekarnolegacy #artsypresident #indonesia #leemanfong #leemanfongart #flora #fauna (at National Gallery of Indonesia)
