ृ
1913, – 5 December 1941), was an eminent Indian painter born to a
Punjabi Sikh father and a Hungarian 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.

10.  Amrita Sher-Gil was born in Budapest, Hungary[6] to Umrao Singh Sher-Gil
Majithia, a Sikh aristocrat and a scholar in Sanskrit and Persian, and Marie
Antoniette Gottesmann, a Jewish opera singer from Hungary. Her mother came
to India as a companion of Princess Bamba Sutherland.Sher-Gil was the elder

mother of the contemporary artist Vivan Sundaram. She spent most of early
childhood in Budapest. She was the niece of Indologist Ervin Baktay. He guided
her by critiquing her work and gave her an academic foundation to grow on. He

SUBODH GUPTA
 Subodh Gupta (born in 1964) is an artist based in New Delhi. He was
born in Khagaul, land famous for ancient mathematician Aryabhatta in
Patna. He studied at the College of Art, Patna in 1983–1988, before
moving to New Delhi where he currently lives and works. Trained as a
painter, he went on to experiment with a variety of media. His work
encompasses sculpture, installation, painting, photography, performance
and video. He is married to artist Bharti Kher.

15. .
 Subodh Gupta is best known for incorporating everyday objects that are
ubiquitous throughout India, such as the steel tiffin boxes used by millions to
carry their lunch as well as thali pans, bicycles, and milk pails. From such
ordinary items the artist produces sculptures that reflect on the economic
transformation of his homeland and which relate to Gupta's own life and
memories. As Gupta says: 'All these things were part of the way I grew up.
They are used in the rituals and ceremonies that were part of my childhood.
Indians either remember them from their youth, or they want to remember
them. And: 'I am the idol thief. I steal from the drama of Hindu life. And
from the kitchen - these pots, they are like stolen gods, smuggled out of the
country. Hindu kitchens are as important as prayer rooms.

16.  Gupta transforms the icons of Indian everyday life into artworks that are
readable globally. He is among a generation of young Indian artists whose
commentary tells of a country on the move, fuelled by boiling economic
growth and a more materialistic mindset. Gupta's strategy of appropriating
everyday objects and turning them into artworks that dissolve their former
meaning and function brings him close to artists like Duchamp; The Guardian
called him 'the Damien Hirst of Delhi. He succeeds in finding an art language
that references India and at the same time can be appreciated for its aesthetic
throughout world; as Gupta says: 'Art language is the same all over the world.
Which allows me to be anywhere.'

17.  An earlier series of paintings is 'Saat Samunder Paar'. Baggages,
migration and the "return home" have been enduring concerns of
Subodh Gupta. It is a theme that crystallised in works such as 'Across
the Seven Seas' (2006) where he uses baggage trolleys of modern
airports to allude to the grim historical reality of migration from India,
especially from his home state of Bihar.
 In works that Subodh Gupta presented at Hauser & Wirth in
October 2009, the artist moved away from composite sculptures
toward objects that possess an auratic quality. Ready-made
commodities experience transformations in scale and material.
