Koempoel Sujatno was a significant figure in the Indonesian modern art movement. Born in 1912 in Ngawi, East Java, he was part of a generation of artists deeply influenced by the socio-political changes of the time. Sujatno’s artistic journey was marked by a keen observation of his surroundings, which he translated into his works with a unique blend of realism and expressionism.
