The Indian Partition forced Sehgal to migrate, leaving behind all that he called his home. His first job as an art teacher at Modern School on Barakhamba road led him to begin his career in the Capital. 1953, 6 years into a new nation, modern India was growing into the largest democracy in the new world and New Delhi has been the epicenter, more so for the arts.

Amar Nath Sehgal’s oeuvre has been critiqued scarcely for the expansive geographical reach. He travelled extensively in Europe and America to exhibit his works which reaped admirers from all over the world.
