About The Storyteller Amrita SherGil Masterpiece Painting
Painted in 1937, The Story Teller was among the twelve works selected by Sher-Gil herself as her most important works and is a splendid example of the artist’s most honest and expressive compositions. The dominant subjects are women, primarily because she could lend her empathetic self most easily to their condition. Sher-Gil portrayed women not as tragic figures, but as individuals who possessed awareness of their fate and the ability to rise above it. “The cows, the women folk, and the setting, though all far removed in technique from those of Basohli miniature, are pregnant with its lyricism and vivid colour.” The deliberate use of various shades of white for the background wall in this work evokes the traditional use of white as a fundamental element for structuring in mural and miniature painting traditions.
