    THE ARTIST
    Amrita Sher-Gil(1913 – 1941) was a child of cross country marriage, Indian father and Hungarian mother. Born in Hungary, she had opportunity to paint European landscapes in her early age. While studying the art in Paris, she drew inspiration from the art of Paul Cezanne and Paul Gauguin.

    On returning to India she painted the subjects lying on the Indian landscape. Amrita Sher-Gil, though initially inspired by the Postimpressionists, painted canvasses depicting life of the ordinary people of India. The women living in hill area of Northern India was her favourite subject.


    THE ART
    The virgin beauty and modesty of Indian girls and women elegantly painted by Amrita Sher-Gil are the most attractive features of her paintings. The colours Amrita used, and pattern of the girls' sitting or standing postures, witness Indian culture in its essence.
