Bali - Sanur Beach - Museum Le Mayeur
In Bali, Le Mayeur met and fell in love with Ni Wayan Pollok Tjoeglik, a 15-year-old Legong dancer who was 37 years his junior. Ni Pollok became his lifelong muse and model. In 1933, his paintings, largely featuring Ni Pollok, were exhibited at the YMCA in Singapore. The exhibition was a great commercial success. Le Mayeur then used the proceeds to purchase land at Sanur Beach in the southeast of Bali, where he built a beautiful ocean-facing home and studio. Villa Le Mayeur, as it came to be known, featured a gorgeous courtyard and garden full of flowers and palm trees.
