8th century legend tells of a Javanese priest,
Rsi Markendya, who meditated at the confluence of two rivers (an auspicious
site for Hindus) at the Ubud locality of Campuan. Here he founded the Gunung
Lebah Temple on the valley floor, the site of which remains a pilgrim
destination.
The town was originally important as a source of
medicinal herbs and plants; Ubud gets its name from the Balinese word ubad
(medicine).
In the late nineteenth century, Ubud became the
seat of feudal lords who owed their allegiance to the king of Gianyar, at one
time the most powerful of Bali's southern states. The lords were members of the
satriya family of Sukawati, and were significant supporters of the
village's increasingly renowned arts scene.
Tourism on the island developed after the arrival
of Walter Spies, an ethnic German born in Russia who taught painting and music,
and dabbled in dance. Spies and foreign painters Willem Hofker and Rudolf
Bonnet entertained celebrities including Charlie Chaplin, Noel Coward, Barbara
Hutton, H.G. Wells and Vicki Baum. They brought in some of the greatest artists
from all over Bali to teach and train the Balinese in arts, helping Ubud become
the cultural centre of Bali.
A new burst of creative energy came in 1960s in
the wake of Dutch painter Arie Smit (1916-), and development of the Young
Artists Movement. There are many museums in Ubud, including the Museum Puri
Lukisan, Museum Neka and the Agung Rai Museum of Art.
The Bali tourist boom since the late 1960s has
seen much development in the town; however, it remains a centre of artistic
pursuit
