This work is from the Re-take of Amrita series.
'The Post-Impressionist Self-portrait as Tahitian (1934) is a daring painting. Amrita posed herself as a nude torso in the manner of the Tahitian 'other.' But in her reference to Gauguin’s painting of exotic women, there is an ironic reclamation of lost ground: the desire in women. My work, with poster-pin-up frontality, extends the irony.'
