“Modern art has led me to the comprehension and appreciation of Indian painting and sculpture. It seems paradoxical but I know for certain that had we not come away to Europe, I should perhaps never have realized that a fresco from Ajanta or a small piece of sculpture in the Musee Guimet is worth more than a whole Renaissance.”
- Amrita Sher-Gil (1913 -1941) was an Indian painter of Punjabi Sikh and Hungarian Jewish descent. She began her career in Parisian Bohemian circles, but in 1933 she began to be haunted by an intense longing to return to India feeling in some strange way there lay her destiny as a painter.
