Anak Agung Gede Sobrat

Anak Agung Gede Sobrat (1911 - 1992) was active/lived in Asia.  Anak Sobrat is known for Painting.

Born in Padangtegal, Gianyar, Bali in 1911, Anak Agung Gede Sobrat was mesmerised by wayang kulit (traditional shadow puppetry) when he was a child. His grandfather, a well-known wayang puppeteer, taught more than carving rawhide puppets as he introduced Sobrat to a world of Hindu epics: the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Sobrat subsequently joined the Pita Maha group and became one of the first Balinese painters to adapt Western aesthetics into his paintings. He studied under German artist Walter Spies (1895-1942) and Dutch painter Johan Rudolf Bonnet (1895-1978). Spies' legendary style of magical-realism and mastery of light captured Sobrat's imagination, and later from Bonnet, Sobrat honed his techniques of portraiture. Subsequently, his style evolved from traditional compositions such as the use of the Malat scene of the landing at Tuban to pseudo-anatomical realism. 1 Sobrat was best known for his depictions of village life and Balinese dance.
