Amrita Sher-Gil and her revolution in Indain contemparary art

The female Indo-Hungarian artist Amrita Sher-Gil has her own unique place in the genesis of modern Indian fine art because of the historical situation of the first half of XX century in India within clash of colonial system and revolutionary movements. Indian culture was threatened with extinction. Thanks to the inspiring movement of extremely intelligent and brave personalities like Rabindranath Tagore, his talented family which ran Bengal Renaissance, Mahatma Gandhi, Nandalal Bose, Jamini Roy and other essential leaders of this revolution stream the disappearance of Indian self-indication hasn’t happened. Amrita got her own impact in this movement since she introduced the rural titles into the art of India with its realistic glimpse of peasants (just like the Itinerants in Russian Empire in the 2/2 of 19 century). Moreover, she was a first feminist painter in India who were talking about female rights in India what was quite a debatable issue among the revolutionizers as civil rights. Finally, Amrita Sher-Gil was a “bridge” between Eastern and Western cultures as this issue has been debatable for many centuries basically due to egoism of colonistical attitude of Western empires.
