What I found in Bali was [...] the soothing inducement of a delightful language and charming people. Here the nights were ablaze with distant stars and always full of the syncopated music of the Gamelans which accompanied dance and drama. [...] The people were shy and unaccustomed to being painted as they engaged in cock fighting, ritual dancing, or their professional ceremonies. It was truly fascinating to work and live among such graceful wealth of everyday life.
Roland Strasser, in: Lovoos, J., Roland Strasser, Painter of the Far East, November 1960, p.33-35
