Amrita Sher-Gil (January 30, 1913 – December 5, 1941) was an eminent Indian painter born to a Punjabi Sikh father and a Hungarian Jewish mother. Sometimes known as India’s Frida Kahlo, and today considered an important woman painter of 20th century India, whose legacy stands at par with that of the Masters of Bengal Renaissance. She is also the ‘most expensive’ woman painter of India.

Celebrating Amrita Sher-Gil 103rd Birthday!
Google has commemorated the 103rd anniversary of the birthday of Amrita Sher-Gil.
Vivid color, graceful forms, and bold strokes mark the truly remarkable life and work of Indian painter, Amrita Sher-Gil. Today’s Doodle honors the “Indian Frida Kahlo,” who left no holds barred in her work, or in her life. Her paintings speak volumes of her passionate lifestyle and relentless desire to express herself through her canvasses.
Sher-Gil studied and practiced in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where she got her start as an artist and life consummate bohemian. Over time, her work became a clear salute to the feminine form, and Sher-Gil into an uncompromising talent.
The inspiration for this Doodle, by Jennifer Hom, is Sher-Gil’s painting “Three Girls”, available to view on the Google Cultural Institute.
