Artist with his sculpture of Mahatma Gandhi
‘Speak O’ Speechless form
The feelings you contain
In thy movements and gestures
Every fiber of your vein’
(Amar Nath Sehgal)
Born in Campbellpur, Pakistan on 5th February 1922 to Ram Asra Mal and Parmeshwari Devi, Indian Modern artist Amar Nath Sehgal was their fourth child of the seven children. Educated in Lahore, Sehgal shifted to India after Partition in 1947. After a two-year stay in the Kullu Valley, he left for New York. Sehgal learnt to appreciate art as a child, but his conventional education led him to pursue a degree in Industrial Chemistry and Physics. In 1948, he moved to New York where he pursued art at New York University.
