ART GALLERY | GALERIE 88 AMINA AHMED KAR (b.1930) Amina Ahmed Kar was born in Calcutta in 1930. She began her artistic training at the Government College of Art and Craft, Calcutta before joining the Art Department of the Delhi Polytechnic. She completed her post graduate studies in France at the Academic Julian. Later she worked at Hayter’s Printmaking Studio and also worked with Ceasar Domela, a founder of ‘De Stijl’ group, Holland. She did a course in Greco-Roman art and received her diploma from the Institute of Art and Archeology, University of Paris. She then took a course in Art History at Ecole Du Louvre, specializing in the art and Archeology of India and the Indian influence in South East and East Asia. Finally she received another diploma from the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes at Sorbonne. Amina trained under Ceasar Domela, one of the foremost abstract painters of 20th Century and learnt the finer points of non-figurative expression and geometric composition. She painted, researched, wrote papers and lectured on art with great intensity and scholarly authority. She married famous sculptor Chintamoni Kar. The experience of giving birth to a child with impaired brains broke the spirit of Amina. She retired from the art world and retreated into the anonymity of the home, spending rest of her life as a home-maker. Till her death she did not come out of seclusion to resume a truly promising career as an artist. Some of Amina’s works are non-figurative; structures within shapes are exposed with verve and skill while in others there are remnants of figurative embedded in the surface. In her paintings the application of lines and colours build an overwhelming visual experience. Fragments of dreams, past memories and her experience of everyday happenings have uttered in her works. 345
