Art Fallen from Heaven offers a new perspective on the origin of modern Balinese sculpture in the 1930s and an overview of its evolution from 1932 to 1973. Thoroughly illustrated with photos of traditional and modern sculpture as well as historic photos, this exhibition volume provides an overview of the artists association Pita Maha (1936-39) and many of its members.

Koos van Brakel examines the important role Pita Maha played in positioning the previously unknown woodcarvers as artists. He also discusses key developments in the postwar era, 1950-2020.
