About Grapes Amrita SherGil Indian Artist Painting
Amrita Sher-Gil flashed through the Indian artistic horizon like an incandescent meteor. Her place in the trajectory of Indian modern art is unquestionably pre eminent. Her aesthetic sensibility shows not surprisingly a blend of European and Indian elements. Her command over handling of oil medium and use of colour, as well as her vigorous brushwork and strong feeling for composition, all go towards giving a dazzling quality to her genius. Sher-Gil's sikh father, Umrao Singh Sher-Gil was an aristocratic estate owner with a passion for photography and her mother Marie Antoinette was a Hungarian. Sher- Gil's art education was completed in Paris where she was influenced by the artists like Gauguin. While her childhood years were spent travelling between India and Europe, she returned to India in the mid 30s to make India her home. Sher-Gil looked at the Indian art traditions with a fresh eye and she gazed at the sad-eyed people around her with empathy. She became excited by the Indian miniature traditions and as a consequence of her travels to the caves of Ajanta and Ellora and South India, her visual language underwent a dramatic transformation. Her palette became saturated with intense reds, ochres, browns, yellows and greens, and her figuration expressed a new visual reality. But she interspersed these paintings of her land with paintings that she practiced in Paris. Sher-Gil was passionate about life and yet she harboured within her a deep sense of melancholy that found expression in the pensive faces of her subjects and their languorous poses.
