National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi was celebrating Amrita Sher-Gil's birth centenary by exhibiting her major works. I heard about it on Twitter.
I first read about Amrita Sher-Gil in a school text book. Although primary education in India barely touches arts, somehow Amrita Sher-Gil is mentioned in context of formation of modern India. The half-Sikh girl from Budapest who painted rural Indian women is celebrated. I had seen her paintings browsing the net, most famous of them easily available even though her wiki page only offers two paintings.
