Indigo Blue Art presents a special summer collection of limited edition MF Husain prints, covering a variety of coveted subjects including Madhuri Dixit, Mother Teresa, horses and mythological icons, Ganesh and Hanuman.
A prolific artist who painted life in all its forms, Husain was able to adeptly integrate the environmental experiences and influences from his journeys into his works. This exhibition offers a rare glimpse into the history of an enigma, whose remarkable works are as diverse as his odyssey through life.
About the artist:
Born in 1915 in Maharashtra, Husain’s humble beginning as a painter of cinema hoardings, toymaker and furniture designer left him struggling to earn a living in Mumbai. However, his determination and love for painting gradually earned him recognition as an artist in the late 1940s. In 1947, Francis Newton Souza’s invitation to Husain to become a member of the Progressive Artists’ Group was a harbinger of his phenomenal success as a painter. Internationally venerated as the ‘Picasso of India’, M.F. Husain has since stood at the forefront of modern Indian art, and continues to do so even 2 years after his death.
