Amrita Sher-Gil was a pioneering Hungarian-Indian painter (1913-1941). Often called the “Indian Frida Kahlo”, she blended Western art techniques with Indian themes, depicting everyday life and the struggles of women. Her vibrant, emotive style made her a key figure in modern Indian art.
Amrita Sher-Gil’s Group of Three Girls (1935) marks a transformative phase in her art after her return from Europe, earning her a gold medal from the Bombay Art Society. The painting depicts three sisters—Nirveer, Beant, and Harbhajan Kaur—draped in vibrant white, orange, and red dress. Sher-Gil’s style here reflects Gauguin’s influence, with flattened forms and a muted background that accentuates the sisters’ quiet intimacy. The use of bold reds becomes a signature element, blending Indian themes with modernist techniques to evoke emotional depth and solidarity.
