In one of the classes we were told to visit the NGMA in Bangalore and see a specific school's artwork in the exhibition put up there and later critique on it.
In the process, i saw a new wing which had Amrita Sher gil's works exhibited on there. i found them much more interesting, eye grabbing and intriguing than the artwork we were told to observe. Her work mostly consisted of portraits and human body study which i thought to be brash and straight forward combined with a sense of mystery.
There was a description of the concepts and her life story put up in the center which actually shined through in her work if you looked closely and patiently. The lighting, i noticed, was very subtle with earthen hues on the walls which i thought merged with the artwork quite well.
The artwork that we were supposed to see turned out to be quite disappointing in my opinion. The thing that bothered me the most would be the placing of the art pieces. The artworks adjacent to some of the art pieces were of a completely different look and feel though interesting. there were some brilliant artworks in some rooms but this particular school of art had really lazy, light and undefined lines mixed with really light, almost submerging into each other, colors. There was also no texture as such to the paintings with little to no shading.
