"The 50 Paintings" Project
Painting # 6
"Young Girls" by Amrita Shergill
She was the youngest ever artist to enter the Grand Salon in Paris where this painting earned her a Gold Medal. And the only Asian to have done so. :)
She died when she was 28 years old yet she managed to create such paintings in her short lifetime to be called the greatest woman painter of the 20th century.
Coming up next Painting #7... LOVE xoxo
