The famed painter M.F. Husain was known for his colourful Cubist-style works that included nude Hindu deities, metropolitan settings, horses, and even Madhuri Dixit. He started out studying calligraphy before pursuing a career in Mumbai painting movie posters and creating toys. He was born in 1915. During a 1953 trip, he was exposed to European masters of painting like Picasso and Klee, and this had a lasting effect on him. His contentious topics, which frequently questioned Indian censorship, however, resulted in his exile in 2006 as a result of legal actions for defaming Hindu culture. He lived in Qatar and the UK in his later years before passing in London in 2011. His pieces are now part of illustrious collections all across the world. Below we at Abir Pothi have compiled a list of 10 of M.F. Husain’s famous paintings.
