Das selbst gemalte Bild zeigt zwei stilisierte, bunt und fantasievoll bemalte Katzen vor einem Hintergrund aus Strand und Meer. Die größere Katze umarmt und hält die von ihr getragene kleine Katze im Arm fest. Beide Katzen sind mit einer Vielzahl an Mustern verziert. Sie blicken den Betrachter an. Vorlage war eine geschnitzte naturfarbene Holzfigur.

“Tjitji” by Hendra Gunawan (Indonesian) - Oil on paper laid on masonite / 1949 - National Gallery Singapore #WomenInArt #HendraGunawan #Gunawan #BlueskyArt #IndonesianArt #artText #art #arte #IndonesianArtist #1940s #FreedomFighter #PortraitofaWoman #WomenInResistance #NationalGallerySingapore
Gunawan’s political and artistic commitments shape this portrait’s emotional voltage. The museum notes he was both painter and activist, moving through artist associations and anti-colonial networks in the 1940s by founding the Pusaka Sunda (Sudanese Heritage) Association, joining Sukarno’s Putera movement, and fighting the Dutch with groups such as Pelukis Front and Pelukis Rakyat. In that context, Tjitji’s pamphlet reads as more than a prop as it suggests organizing, education, persuasion for the quiet labor of resistance alongside visible struggle. He painted this close, chest-up portrait centering a young woman identified by the museum as Tjitji, described as a freedom fighter. She faces forward but looks past us, her expression composed and guarded, as if listening for something just outside the frame. Her shoulder-length dark hair falls in soft waves, gathered back at the crown. Thick brows and a steady mouth add to the feeling of resolve. Gunawan paints her face an uncanny, luminous green, while warm reds and oranges flare across her neck and the air behind her. She wears a light, collared practical, everyday jacket buttoned at the front. She holds a green pamphlet partly open as if she has just flipped a page. The background is not a place but an atmospheric swirling red sky of visible brushwork like heat, smoke, or pressure closing in, intensifying the tension around her calm stance. Indonesian artist Hendra Gunawan leans into styles inspired by Javanese puppet traditions including flattened planes, elongated accents, and decisive outlines that are her paired with color chosen for impact rather than realism. As the National Gallery Singapore puts it, he “prioritiz[ed] expression and impact over realism.” Tjitji’s green face against the swirling red sky becomes a psychological map of 1949 full of unease, vigilance, and the necessity of resilience in an uncertain future that is held, page by page, in one woman’s hands.

“Woman with Chicks” by Trubus Soedarsono (Indonesian) - Oil on canvas / 1960 - National Gallery Singapore #WomenInArt #TrubusSoedarsono #NationalGallerySingapore #IndonesianArt #NationalGallery #art #arttext #arte #BlueskyArt #portraitfwomen #IndonesianArtist #AsianArt #SoutheastAsianArt #1960sArt
A tall, narrow composition depicts a quiet scene of care. In the foreground, a young woman sits in a woven chair, her body turned slightly while her face meets us with a relaxed expression. Her long dark hair falls loose behind a white blouse, and her hands rest in her lap over a brown batik sarong. Behind her, a second woman bends forward, gently parting and arranging the seated woman’s hair. Both figures wear soft white garments that catch the light against a smoky field of browns, olive grays, and muted rose. At the lower right, a hen settles near a shallow basket with several pale chicks gathered nearby. The brushwork is loose and atmospheric, with softened edges and a haze of color that makes the scene feel remembered. The image feels full of touch with fingers in hair, fabric against skin, feathers against wicker, and bodies sharing a private space. That intimacy is what makes the painting so compelling. Indonesian artist Trubus Soedarsono turns two everyday moments into a meditation on nurturing. The women are absorbed in an ordinary act of grooming, patience, and companionship. The hen and chicks below quietly mirror that same theme, creating a visual rhyme between human care and animal care. Painted in 1960, the work also belongs to a fascinating chapter in Indonesian art, when painters were helping define a modern national culture after independence. Trubus had studied with major figures such as S. Sudjojono and Affandi, was active in revolutionary-era artist circles, created anti-Dutch propaganda posters, and later taught at the Indonesian Academy of Fine Arts in Yogyakarta. Knowing that history gives this gentle image extra depth as an artist shaped by political struggle paints softness, domesticity, and emotional closeness. The result is memorable precisely because it is so understated. Nothing dramatic happens, yet the painting holds attention through tenderness, elegant vertical design, and a quiet insistence that ordinary care is worthy of art.

Untitled (Woman Touching Shoulder) by Basoeki Abdullah (Indonesian) - Pastel on paper / Undated - National Gallery Singapore #WomenInArt #PortraitofaWoman #art #artwork #artText #BasoekiAbdullah #Abdullah #IndonesianArtist #IndonesianArt #beauty #Bluesky #bskyart #pastel #NationalGallerySingapore
Indonesian artist Baseoki Abdullah was born in 1915 in Solo, Java, to the family of well-known Mooi Indie painter Raden Abdullah Suriosubroto. Basoeki followed in his father’s footsteps and eventually earned the title of "the Rembrandt of the East." He received formal training in The Hague and was an art teacher during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies. After World War II, he achieved international fame by winning an art competition held for the coronation of Queen Juliana of Amsterdam in 1948, Basoeki spent much of his later life traveling around the globe to paint stalwart statesmen and attractive women. Beyond the glitz and glamour, Basoeki was deeply driven by a personal desire to evoke the realities of postcolonial movements through his self-described style of "Romantic Realism." This pastel portrait depicts an unidentified young woman, likely of East Asian descent, with dark, curly hair, subtly draped in a pale garment, her gaze directed slightly away from us, creating an air of pensive sensuality. She possesses dark, rich, curly hair in a mid-20th century style that frames her delicately-rendered face. Her soft features are finely detailed: dark averted eyes, a straight nose, and full lips painted a bold red. Her expression is one of quiet contemplation or perhaps subtle allure. She appears young with a smooth complexion light-to-medium skin tone with subtle shading to create depth and dimension. She is partially draped in an off-white, strapless garment loosely arranged around her shoulders and upper chest, leaving her shoulders and upper arms exposed. Her left hand is gently placed on her right shoulder, suggesting a pose of self-awareness or perhaps a hint of vulnerability. The clothing is not sharply defined, but rather softly rendered with pastel strokes that blend seamlessly into the background. Sadly, Abdullah was beaten to death by three assailants during a break-in at his Jakarta home in November 1993 at the age of 78.
