Batuaninteractive.com:

"About fifteen years old at the time of making the pictures in the collection, Djata had been painting about two or three years. He said that he was self-taught be he had watched Ngendon at work. He visited the homes of the Western painters Bonnet and Spies, and showed them his work for criticism. He was a member of their group, Pita Maha. Djata was the son of a very poor carpenter. He had not been to school but could speak a little Malay. Djata was an apprentice to a shadow puppet maker in Batuan, Dewa Putu Kebes, and the details of the headdresses and clothing in his drawings are taken from puppets. He was also close to Ngendon, who demonstrated how to draw rounded human bodies, especially nudes. In 1948, Connect appointed Djata teacher of art in a short-lived artisan's school established by the colonial government in Batuan. In the 1980s Djata was still painting, in much the same

style as these pictures. His son also become a fine painter in the late 1970s. Djata produced twenty-seven pictures in this collection."
