Bali: Art, Ritual, Performance
Featuring hundreds of full-color photographs, paintings, figurines, crafts, and furniture Bali: Art, Ritual, Performance is an exploration of the very best Balinese culture has to offer. For nearly a century, mention of Bali has evoked images of a tropical paradise. But it is not only the beauty of the island that has attracted artists, dancers, celebrities and scholars. Bali is also famed for its vibrant performance and ritual arts traditions. Although the island is so small it can be circled in a day, it is home to more than 20,000 temples, and each of these produces annual festivals. Where ritual is such a part of daily life, one cannot draw clear lines between the secular and the religious arts. Bali: Art, Ritual, Performance presents a holistic view of the ways that art, ritual, and performance interrelate within the seamless fabric of Balinese life.
Wild Dogs in Bali
In recent years Wianta's calligraphic paintings have been thoroughly influenced by his drawing practices, which makes "Wild dogs in Bali" all the more fascinating.

This study of the widely exhibited art of Balinese Made Wianta is by a US writer and art critic who visited Bali in 2003, after the Kuta tragedy. Black and white photographs and a travelogue introduce aspects of the island's culture and terrain. Wianta's innovative drawings and calligraphy are discussed and presented in 60 colour plates, followed by a chronology, bibliography and index.
