Artist
Amrita Sher-Gil (1913-1941) was born in Budapest to a Hungarian opera singer and a Punjabi Sikh aristocrat, trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and returned to India at 21 determined to paint Indian life without either colonial exoticism or academic sentiment. Her mature work drew on Ajanta frescoes and Mughal miniatures as much as on Gauguin and Cezanne, and she painted villagers, women and herself with a gravity that had little precedent in Indian art. She died at 28 from causes still disputed; her paintings are now designated national art treasures by the Indian government and cannot be exported.
