I love this series! I’m a sucker for the suit of swords and surprisingly had many in my tarot reading. 

Three of Swords 

For my second senior thesis, I’ll be completing the Suit of Swords from the Minor Arcana Tarot card deck! It’s an excuse to draw sad fantasy knights

Amrita Sher-gil is considered one of the most important womenpainters of 20th Century India. Known for her paintings of women, as well asher many affairs with both men and women, she is sometimes known as ‘India’sFrida Kahlo.’

 Born to a Punjabi Sikh aristocrat and a Hungarian Jewishopera singer, Sher-gil learned to paint at age eight. She studied in Florenceand Paris, and was influenced by European painters of the time, like Cezanneand Gauguin.

After returning to India in 1936, she was inspired by the Bengal School of Art, and toured South India, where she found her calling- to paint the lives of Indian people, particularly villagers and women.

 Just days before the opening of her first major solo show, Sher-gil became suddenly ill and died. She left behind a large body of work, which the Government of India has declared a National Treasure, and her legacy has influenced generations of Indian artists. (The portrait is approx. 9″ x 12″ and is available here). I’ve also included some of her paintings in this post.

‘Mask of Hanako’ by Auguste Rodin, 1907. Found at the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia, PA. Link to this sculpture on their website.

From Wikipedia:

Hisa Ōta (大田 ひさ Ōta Hisa?, May 7, 1868–April 2, 1945) was a Japanese stage actress who spanned the Meiji and Taishō periods of Japan and was known by the name Hanako (花子). The kanji given for her name when born were 飛佐 (Hisa), but she did not use those during her career.

Starting in 1900, she spent the majority of her career touring Europe and was the only Japanese person to model for Auguste Rodin, who gave her two masks he created, using Hanako as a model. These masks are on display in the city of Gifu in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, where she spent her twilight years. She was also the basis for Mori Ōgai’s short story Hanako.
