young youth may not recognize him or even know him. But as your information, the big painting that's located in Museum Sejarah Jakarta or people well known as Fatahillah, is one of his master piece. And it's also a painting that capture the history of the great battle between Sultan Agung and Jan Pieterszoon Coen.
But in this event we will learn more than just his historical masterpiece, but more to who is pak Djon and how did he found his "Jiwa Ketok" or his real soul to his art.
he's one of the person who decline Mooi Indie painting due to the unrealistic situation of the country. He prefer to be paint more to how is Indonesia, and what makes Indonesia is Indonesia. I mean many artist prefer to do Mooi Indie just because the Dutch told them to. Yet pak Djon refuses to join the mainstream style and found his own "Jiwa Ketok"
what? you got confused with my explanation? well ya know what you should come to the event! why? because you learn more than pak Djon as a artist but as a politician, critics and many more. you'll learn more than just painting but more to how to find your "Jiwa Ketok"
