Such was the art and persona of Hungarian-Indian painter Amrita Sher-Gil, that even after 80 years of her death she remains a fascinating subject for many. And while much has been written about her art, not many know about her relationship and marriage to Victor Egan, who was also her first cousin. Now, a new book titled 'Amrita & Victor' by journalist-author Ashwini Bhatnagar sheds light on this.
Bhatnagar's new book 'Amrita & Victor' was launched by His Excellency Mr.Istvan Szabo- Ambassador of Hungary to India, Dr. Mariann Erdő- Director & Cultural Counsellor at Hungarian Cultural Centre Delhi, and art historian Dr. Alka Pande at the Embassy of Hungary Residence in New Delhi on June 9, 2023.
