Artist
Sita Devi
Sita Devi is a Contemporary Abstract artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Sita Devi painted the gods like family, layering their stories with the same bold colors she used for her neighbors’ wedding saris. She never signed her work—she called it a prayer, not a product. Look for her 1973 Ganga standing on a makara at the Bihar Museum; the curved fish tail lifts the goddess above the water in a single, confident line.
