This beautifully illustrated study focuses on the Balinese narrative tradition as represented in classic painting, shadow puppets, painting on glass, and embroideries. Most of the folk art in this book has never been reproduced before.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful book, very well written,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Folk Art of Bali: The Narrative Tradition (The Asia Collection) (Hardcover)
I found the writing to be first rate. The illustrations were beautiful, although in some cases the color reproduction could have been better. Readers interested in Balinese art won't find a better book.
