TitoloMen in Rice Field
CreatoreYong Mun Sen
DescrizioneMen in Rice Field is a dramatic presentation of padi farmers cast against a towering cloud in the background. He demonstrates deft handling of the medium in building up the depth of tone of colours in the picture.
The rural in Yong Mun Sen's painting sharply contrasts the works of Lim Cheng Hoe and Suri Mohyani. Mun Sen's contribution to modern Malayan art lies in capturing a visual history of early Malaya through the medium in aesthetic conventions distinctly different from the British.Two farmers toiling in a rice field sihouted against a towering cloud. It is a bold, simple and dramatic presentation of a rural landscape that earned for the artist a host of admirers including Lim Cheng Hoe, Singapore's pioneer watercolourist.
