Arie Smit – Memburu Cahaya Bali –

“Diterbitkan untuk memperingati ulang tahun Arie Smit ke 80 (1916-1996)
Arie Smit 40 tahun melukis di Bali (1956-1996)”

“The works of Arie Smit are a blend of two principle elements, that of form and colour uniting in a synthesis such that each does not appear to be visually dominant. Colours merge in objects, objects dissolve into colours. The understanding of the mysticism and vitality of the East as defined in his works have a purity in their own right. His paintings vibrate with inner joy that emit poetry beyond words of the universe before him. Poetic realism, in the words of Arie Smit about his own works, certainly is not mistaken.”
