Unacknowledged during her life and considered an icon post her death, between these polarities lies the journey and the struggle for expression of one of the most enterprising and innovative artists of our times, Amrita Sher-Gil (1913-1941). Did the Ajanta Caves and Gauguin influence Amrita's works? How was she as a person and as an artist? Was her work in India indeed of unequal quality as often considered to be? In this collection, Karl Khandalavala, G.H.R. Tillotson, K.G. Subramanyan and N. Iqbal Singh, among others, ponder these and other aspects of Amrita's short but impactful life dedicated to art. With Charles Fabri's fictional account of the travails of a young artist in Lahore in the 1940s carrying an unmistakable resemblance with the influential and avant-garde artist, the volume also includes a piece by Amrita on her evolution as an artist. Accompanied by rare black and white and colour visuals, this book brings together modern and contemporary critiques as well as early writings by past masters that have largely remained inaccessible until now.Table of Contents:List of Photographs Introduction by Yashodhara Dalmia Plate section Processes of Art Evolution of My Art by Amrita Sher-Gil Notes towards a Biography of Amrita Sher-Gil by Charles Fabri Amrita Sher-Gil: An Artistic Evaluation by Karl Khandalavala Amrita Sher-Gil: A Genuine Artist - Striving for Excellence by Esther Rahim Amrita Sher-Gil and the East-West Dilemma by KG Subramanyan The Doomed Romantic by Nissim Ezekiel Transformation of the Pre-modern to the Modern in Early Twentieth-century Indian Art by Yashodhara Dalmia Amrita Sher-Gil: The Indian Painter and Her French and Hungarian Connections by Katalin Keserü A Painter of Concern: Critical Writings on Amrita Sher-Gil by GHR Tillotson Amrita Sher-Gil: Painter Par Excellence - The Unfolding of Art by N Iqbal Singh Mythic Encounters Charles Fabri: An Iconoclastic Vision by Yashodhara Dalmia Indian Flamingo: A Novel of Modern India by Charles Fabri Acknowledgements Bibliography Index About the Editor and Contributors
