The Malay Identity in Malaysian Women’s Paintings
Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 10
Abstract
The Malaysian women’s identity in paintings essentially began to surface between the year 1970’s to 1980’s. The attempt to fulfill the demand of identity searching fought by the Malay painters in the 1958 has enlightened the present women revivalists to also pursue this quest. This was leaded by the severe identity crisis suffered by Malaysian women painters of 1950’s to the 1970’s. Thus, by re-evaluating the essence of ‘Malayness’ and its cultural strand, the Malaysian women painters tempt to portray an identity to complement the Malay arts. The objective of this paper is to examine the Malay identity in Malaysian women’s painting by studying the form and content of Malaysian women’s painting by using art appreciation descriptive method. Visual content analysis is conducted to achieve the objectives above. The outcome of this paper shall suggest the emergence of Malay arts and cultural heritage values traceable in the Malaysian women’s paintings between the 1970’s to the 1990’s. Adopting the heritage arts discipline, the present article shall unfold the identity of ‘Malayness’ through its form and content in each painting.
