  • Biography

    Raden Sudjono Abdullah (1911-1993) was born in Surakarta (Solo), Central Java. His father, Abdullah Suriosubroto (1878-1942), was a landscape artist and first trained him in romantic realism in the Barbizon school. He later studied art and graduated from Hollandsche-Inlandsche School. Abdullah became famous for his genre scenes of Javanese life and culture, and romanticized landscapes around his home. While at a glance, his art appears to hark back to that of the colonial-style, Mooi Indie or Beautiful Indies, his connection and love for his motherland evident in his artistic lens.

    He was the brother of Raden Basuki Abdullah.
