Purchase options and add-ons

A comprehensive and richly illustrated survey of batik, a glorious textile art and popular Indonesian cloth.

Every aspect of batik is rich in symbolism: its colors, motifs, and designs, as well as the way it is made, folded, and worn. Formerly a family and tribal signifier, and then a symbol of Indonesian independence and identity, it is now a fabric in demand all over the world. Fiona Kerlogue explores the origins of batik in the Indonesian archipelago; the materials and methods of production; regional traditions and differences; motifs and symbolism, including Malay, Chinese, and Islamic meanings; modern influences, such as industrialization, war, and independence; batik as traditional and modern costume; and batik as an art form. An illustrated index of motifs and their meanings, glossary, bibliography, and international listing of batik collections complete this authoritative yet accessible work. 205 illustrations, 168 in full color

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fine history of Batik
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2021
Verified Purchase
This was a very interesting book, well thought out. Goes in depth into the history of Batik fabrics. The illustrations were excellent and to the point. This is more than a coffee table book, although handsome enough to display.

This is a well presented, easy to follow beautiful batik book. It’s about looking back - history, origins to the style of present day. Often use this book for reference.
