I didn't know her work before reading your article. The painting you embed ("The Three Girls") reminds me of Gaugin, but I much prefer Amrita's vision. She searches out the inner lives of the three women she portrays. Gaugin sticks to the surface. He focuses on the "exotic other."

Many thanks for sharing this essential discovery.
