A self-taught painter, His Majesty had a true passion for the discipline

 

BANGKOK: -- His Majasty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej is not just remembered as one of the great kings of Thailand, but also as the “Supreme Artist”. His Majesty, with the support of the late Princess Mother, developed a real love for art in his younger years. 


He became interested in painting, photography, music and literature as a child, and began taking lessons while in Switzerland from 1937 to 1945. Between 1959 to 1967, he produced 107 pieces of art, all signed with his initials. Since royal duties forced him to give up painting in 1967, he began concentrating on photography, taking his cameras with him when travelling across the country. 


His Majesty picked up techniques by studying art books and visiting artists’ studios during his childhood in Switzerland.
