What people have said about Understanding Contemporary Southeast Asian Art . . . . .

"This is a wonderful book on contemporary Southeast Asian art. Marjorie Chu writes with warmth, clarity and much knowledge. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it."
Professor Tommy Koh, Ambassador-at-Large, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Singapore

"It is a very well written and moving story, lovingly told. Marjorie Chu has obviously enjoyed forming her own wide circle of Southeast Asian artists. And what fine examples of their work have come to her and, through her, have reached the eyes and homes of so many. I am glad that she included her insights into these paintings. Most of all, I like her light touch and the way she makes her adventures with art something others may appreciate. It is a delightful and memorable volume."
Professor Wang Gungwu, Director, East Asian Institute, National University of Singapore

When you have read this book, you will have learnt a good deal about Asian paintings, sculptures and artists as well as art teachers and dealers. Like Marjorie Chu herself, the book is straightfoward and honest, without guile."
Dr Earl Lu, Founding Chairman, Singapore Art Museum

"This is a book for the genuine art lover by a genuine art lover."
Dr Oei Hong Djien, art collector, Magelang, Indonesia

"This book is easy to follow. It can make one, especially a beginner, appreciate how artists conceptualize their works, and what goes on in their minds. Marjorie's insights into her encounters and travels with artists are also very interesting. In doing so, she makes me understand what inspires the artists, and why they paint that way."
Tessie Fajardo, art lover, Manila
