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 1932 painting of a Hungarian village church simplifies the exterior, focusing on architectural forms like the rounded door, triangles, and cones of the towers. With strokes reminiscent of Van Gogh, she captures the essence of Hungary’s folk culture – church, village, blue sky. The painting emphasizes the stark purity of the church’s form over its decorative interior, showcasing Sher-Gil’s stylistic range and connection to the ‘folk and the primitive’.
