First of all: Thank you very much internet archives, Mr. Guttenberg, Mr. Microsoft, etc, for the precious books.

Well, guys, here’s our art & art history books. I just can upload maybe one or two books in a week, but I will always try to add more.

Sharpening or blurring your views? Up to you!

I am not a real painter, I’m just a narrator of symbols & ornaments, but all this books helps me much in creating paintings as a symbolic narrations & also appreciating others narrations.

I did some researches on indigenous Indonesian & correlated South-East Asian local wisdom, tribal, & ethnic symbolism ornaments; and these books helps me to translate those great pure pieces to enrich nonsense about modern aesthetics, ha ha ha…

All for the phylosophy of “asem kepret” ha ha ha… define your own word for “asem kepret”.
