Born in Budapest in 1913 to a Jewish mother and an Indian father, Amrita Sher-Gil was their first of two children whom they raised in luxury. [...]

She said of her time there, “Europe belongs to Picasso, Matisse and many others, India belongs only to me.” [....] “I realized my artistic mission then: to interpret the life of Indians and particularly of the poor Indians pictorially, to paint those silent images of infinite submission and patience, to depict their angular brown bodies."

im always fascinated by the token poc passed around as queer icons, people infinitely alienated from working class lives and espousing the comforting orientalism the west likes to hear.
