Amrita Sher-Gil: A Life Yashodhara Dalmia

Beautiful and brilliant, Amrita Sher-Gil lived life on her own terms, scandalizing the staid society of her times with her love affairs and unconventional ways. In this fascinating biography, art historian Yashodhara Dalmia paints a compelling portrait of the artist who, when she died in 1941 at the age of twenty-eight, left behind a body of work that establishes her as one of the foremost artists of the century and an eloquent symbol of the fusion between the East and the West.

Amrita Sher-Gil Bewertungen

[A] rare and candid insight into a stimulating personality(Times of India) 'Cutting through the myths and gossip, Dalmia shows that Sher-Gil was a serious artist intent upon bridging the gulf between the Western-educated Indian elite to which she belonged, and the impoverished millions surrounding them' (Aravind Adiga in Time) This is a fascinating life, elegantly told, of the development of a gifted young painter - and the moving narrative of one of the most extraordinary women of modern India' (Hindu) 'This is an important book... Drawing from a range of primary and secondary sources, including a lot of personal correspondence, Dalmia has managed to construct for the reader the many-sided and complex life story of this flamboyant painter who died so young, yet left such an impact' (S. Kalidas in India Today)

Über Yashodhara Dalmia

Yashodhara Dalmia is an art historian and independent curator based in New Delhi. Her book The Making of Modern Indian Art: The Progressives is regarded as a definitive account of a seminal phase of Indian art. Among her other publications is Journeys: Four Generations of Indian Artists (2011). She has also written several essays, articles and reviews on contemporary Indian art. When the National Gallery of Modern Art opened in Mumbai in December 1996, Dalmia curated the inaugural exhibition titled The Moderns, which featured 200 works by twelve greats of modern Indian art, including Francis Newton Souza, M.F. Husain and Tyeb Mehta. In September 2010, Dalmia curated a major show of contemporary Indian artists titled Indian (Sub)Way at the Grosvenor Vadehra gallery in London. In January 2011, she curated the show Tyeb Mehta: Triumph of Vision in Delhi, which consisted of unseen paintings by the artist, including his magnificent last work. Currently she is involved in a project on South Asian art.
