Mooijen was a multi-talented architect who designed the much praised Netherlands Indies Pavilion for the 1931 Paris Colonial Exposition. He also accompanied the first Balinese dance troupe to visit Europe who performedthere to sensational reviews. A talented young protégé of the renown Dutch architect Berlage, he and a new generation of young architects changed the face of Dutch colonial architecture at the beginning of this century. He was also an avid collector of Balinese art and author. His book, Bali Kunst (Bali Art), is still the best book on Balinese Architecture (watch out for cheap plagiarized English versions). If this were not enough he was one of the main participants in the founding of the Bali Museum in Denpasar, restorer of Besaki Temple after the great earthquake of 1917, an active member ofthe Batavian Kunstkring (Jakarta Art Circle), which played a seminal role in Indonesia painting history, and last but not least a talented painter.
