Amrita Sher-Gil

Amrita Sher-Gil, a bisexual Hungarian-Indian Expressionist painter, is considered “one of the greatest avant-garde women artists” although few acknowledged her work while she was still alive.

Amrita was born in Budapest on January 30, 1913. Her father was a Jat aristocrat and scholar and her mother was a Hungarian-Jewish opera singer. Amrita started formal art lessons at 8, and at ten she briefly enrolled in an art school where she was exposed to Italian masters.

At 16, Amrita sailed to Europe to train as a painter in Paris, where she drew inspiration from Post-Impressionist and Expressionist artists such as Paul Cézanne, Paul Gaugin, Vincent van Gogh, and Amedeo Modigliani. Here she is pictured with an array of her paintings.

At 19, Amrita’s 1932 painting Young Girls (pictured) won her a gold medal and election to the Grand Salon in Paris as its youngest ever member and the only Asian to have received this recognition.

Amrita returned to India at the end of 1934, believing “that there lay [her] destiny as a painter.” She stated “Europe belongs to Picasso, Matisse, Braque… India belongs only to me.” Pictured: Sumair, painted in 1936.

Amrita was attracted to the poor, distressed, and deprived, and explored the sadness felt by people – especially women – through her art, giving voice and validity to their experiences. Her paintings of Indian villagers and women are a meditative reflection of their condition. (Pictured: Three Girls and Hill Women.)

At 28 – and days before the opening of her first major solo show – Amrita became seriously ill and slipped into a coma. She died around midnight on December 5, 1941, leaving behind a large volume of work. The reason for her death has never been ascertained.
