Walter Spies
It is clear from the reactions of many people who view Spie's work that he can strike a deep cord of understanding of the tropical landscape and its significance. Margaret Mead reported how some Balinese painters "treated his work with a kind of awe which they reserved for the miraculous, and there is one story of a group of them kneeling when they encountered one of his paintings in the Chinese shop in Denpesar. At the same time he became involved in conservation in the widest sense, investigating archeological finds, gathering artefacts for the Bali museum and establishing and guiding an association of painters. The government frequently drew on his expertise.

Locals don’t appreciate their own art, Bali
Sometimes a messenger would arrive on foot from Saba, having trudged 20 miles with a basket containing two or three fine durian fruit, if it happened to be the season, or perhaps an old mask or piece of stone sculpture, for the Anak Agung (local prince) knew I collected these, although he could not possibly see why. When a thing was old you threw it out, and he could not understand any enthusiasm for a carving or ancient bronze green with age, any more than he could understand my love for the stiff, unadorned music of the mountain villages.

Art collecting in Bali
the "pirate scammers" as we affectionalty referred to them, turned out to be less the grave robbers of the nation's treasury of ethnographic art as the key players in its preservation. For whereas in the early days such treasures rotted in, or were pilfered from, Indonesia's neglected museums, the best of them, thanks to the scammers, had been lovingly preserved for half a century.

Bruce Carpenter
From my perspective, electricity turned most people into zombies and thus assasinated the era of magic and poetry that preceded it. Whereas we once bathed in a golden light that made us all look like gods, bards, and heroes, exchanging tales of adventure, dancing and singing, the ugly side of the West that we had fled was holwing at our heels.

finding locations for McDonalds is the most creatively fulfilling thing I can imagine....out of that bare piece of ground comes a store that does, say, a million dollars a year in business.
