Surrealism
Precolonial Indian
Cubism
Gothic
Answer
Sher-Gil's work was significantly influenced by precolonial Indian art styles. These influences can be seen in her use of vibrant colors, bold lines, and simplified forms. She was particularly drawn to the art of the Ajanta Caves, which she visited in 1937. The murals in these caves depict Buddhist religious scenes and stories, and Sher-Gil was inspired by their composition, color palette, and narrative power.
