About this title

Synopsis

Bali is a place that, for almost a century, has inspired people to come, to be 'elsewhere' and yet, feel at home. Beauty of landscapes, extraordinary culture, and a warm welcome—Bali has it all, and more. Bali Inspires explores Balinese art, past and present, as seen through the lens of the Rudana family and their deep, abiding love of Bali. Featuring art pulled from Museum Rudana, the Rudana Fine Art Gallery and the Rudana family's private collection, this book is an extraordinary glimpse into the heart of Bali.
