{"product_id":"amrita-sher-gil-mother-india-fine-art-giclee-print","title":"Amrita Sher-Gil — Mother India | Fine Art Giclée Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA veiled mother in violet-brown sits with a baby in a lavender shirt on her arm and a young daughter in a slate-green shawl at her knee, all three pairs of eyes turned in different directions against a bare ochre ground. The composition narrows to the pink cloth across the mother's lap and the dark, work-worn hand holding the child. Painted in Delhi in 1935, within a year of Sher-Gil's return, Mother India was her answer to colonial picturesque painting — poverty and dignity given the frontal authority of an icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmrita Sher-Gil (1913–1941) was born in Budapest to a Sikh aristocrat and a Hungarian opera singer, trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and returned to India in 1934 determined to paint the country's people rather than its picturesque surface. In the seven years left to her she fused the flat colour and frontal stillness of Ajanta murals and Pahari miniatures with the Post-Impressionist lessons of Gauguin and Cézanne, producing the foundation of modern Indian painting. She died in Lahore at twenty-eight; her work is declared a National Art Treasure by the Government of India and is held chiefly by the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
