777                                          Huang Fong mostly paints Balinese women. In this
        huang Fong                                   painting, he painted a rather androgynous figure.
        (Bandung, W. Java, 1935 - 1984)              Although the figure has flowers in his/her hair, it
                                                     is not clear whether the figure is a young girl or a
        Balinese Women                               young boy. Whether the painting is of a young boy
                                                     or a young girl is not relevant. More important, is
        1987                                         that the artist handled the portrayal of the
        oil on canvas
        39 x 30 cm                                   character’s facial features with great sensitivity.
                                                     This painting is from the collection of the late
