#Repost @thegreatwomenartists ✨🎙 EPISODE 96 of the The Great Women Artists Podcast is out NOW!!! 🎙✨ In this episode, @Katy.Hessel interviews Sonal Khullar on one of the most acclaimed artists of the 20th century, AMRITA SHER-GIL! 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊 Sher-Gil (1913–41) was India’s foremost artist . Her paintings give prominence to real people at real moments, and exude pathos and strength. “I can only paint in India, Europe belongs to Picasso, Matisse, Braque and the rest. But India  belongs only to me.” ✨🇮🇳✨ Born in Budapest and raised in Shimla, northern India, between 1929 and 1932 Sher-Gil attended the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, as the first Indian student to do so, where she was able to study from nude models. Acclaimed for her Expressionistic figurative painting, she exhibited at the Paris Salon. Soon enough, she was drawn back to India: "I began to be haunted by an intense longing to return to India, feeling in some strange inexplicable way that there lay my destiny as a painter." Abandoning her European style, Sher-Gil’s figurative work transformed into studies of saturated colour with fluorescent fabrics and glittering textures. The subject of solo exhibitions, and a recipient of multiple prizes, Sher-Gil showed her work in Delhi and Bombay. But soon after settling in Lahore with her new husband, she was overcome with illness and tragically died aged 28. Her acute sensibility is evident in her paintings, which capture not just the electricity of colour, and the merging of global styles, but also the world of her sitters, no matter what their status.

Amrita pintou “Self-Portrait as a Tahitian” aos 21 anos em 1934. A obra teve como inspiração o europeu Paul Gauguin, mais precisamente um confronto direto às representações exotizadas do nu feitas pelo artista. Sher-Gil, artista feminina não branca em Paris, enxergou nas representações europeia uma exotização do corpo não-ocidental. É através do “Self-Portrait as a Tahitian” que responde a Gauguin, como quem reconhece que é observada e ignora, desviando o olhar para fora da tela.
