- Abstract
Many critics consider Budi Darma’s Olenka as a novel of ideas, and an interesting issues narrated in the novel is the idea of the art of writing and painting. This is seen in the characterization Olenka as a painter, and the character Wayne Danton, as a writer. As an Indonesian modernist novel, therefore it reflects a modernist poetic related to the idea of art. This article tries to figure out the concepts of art in painting as expressed in the novel by focusing on the ideas on painting revealed through the characterization of Olenka as a painter. Sentences, phrases, word, passages indicating ideas related to creative art in painting are quoted as main data, while concept of art, including Budi Darma’s view of art, and the phenomenology of experience serve as theorethical framework by wich the main data are interpreted. Finding shows that the figure of Olenka as a painter reveal the ideas that creative process of great arts involves bodily experiences of the artist in relation to the object of painting. A true artist is someone who has visions and who keep striving to reveal mystery of life experiences.
