Painters were fascinated by the tropical landscapes, picturesque villages and markets, and especially the diverse inhabitants of the Dutch East Indies. In the first half of the 20th century a large group of European artists known as the Beautiful Indies painters worked there. Today the qualities of these East Indies paintings are fully recognized. Focusing on the exceptional Colauto-Van Peperstraten collection, this book shows how private collectors played a pioneering role by becoming experts in a field that was only recognized later as important by museums and auction houses. Full attention is also given to the interest in this art movement among collectors in postwar Indonesia, including President Sukarno.

From the Back Cover:
De tropische landschappen, de pittoreske dorpjes en vooral de diverse bewoners van Nederlands-Indië (Dutch East Indies) fascineerden vele kunstenaars zoals schilders en fotografen. Vooral in de eerste helft van de vorige eeuw werkte er een grote groep Europeanen die wel Mooi-Indië schilders werden genoemd. Tegenwoordig worden de kwaliteiten van kunstenaars van deze East Indies School volledig erkend en voor hun werk worden grote bedragen neergeteld. Met als uitgangspunt de belangrijke privécollectie van Rob en Yvonne Colauto wordt beschreven hoe een paar pioniers in Nederland en Indonesië, ieder op een eigen manier, geraakt werden door de schilderijen en een verzameling opbouwden. Hun persoonlijke verhalen en anekdotes geven een boeiend kijkje achter de schermen van de kunstwereld. Het boek verschijnt naar aanleiding van de tentoonstelling 'Het Indisch Palet' in het Westfries Museum. Kern van de expositie vormen de prachtige schilderijen uit de collectie Colauto. De expositie zal vanaf 10 februari 2019 te zien zijn in Hoorn. In 'Indisch Palet' is werk te zien van vijftien tot twintig verschillende kunstenaars, voornamelijk uit de eerste helft van de twintigste eeuw. Daaronder zeven topstukken van de schilder Isaac Israëls en werken van Pieter Ouburg, Dolf Breetvelt, Rudolf Bonnet, Willem Hofker en Johannes ten Klooster.
