LALITA LAJMI 1/2 – She described natural bond between women and between mother and daughter. She is a self-taught artist, who has not received any formal art formation. Coming from a family involved in the arts, as a child she has enjoyed classical dance. But she also had the impetus to paint, and her uncle had brought her a paint box. In 1961 she seriously began to paint, teaching art to earn money for living. She did not want to work in a movie (although her brother was a film director and actor). In the mid-1980s she was doing etching, oils and watercolors, exhibiting in international art galleries.
LALITA LAJMI 2/2 – She was born in 1932 in Kolkata, she is a well-known Indian painter. During a fifty-year artistic career, she has had several exhibitions at national and international level. She first showed her artwork at Jehangir Art Gallery as part of a group exhibition in 1961, has had a long career, and many struggles.
