100 Rs
Maqbool Fida Husain (1915 - 2011) was a modern Indian painter of international acclaim, and a founding member of The Progressive Artists Group of Bombay (PAG). M F Husain was associated with Indian modernism in the 1940s.
Husain began his career by painting billboards for feature films. Hussain's —sometimes treated in series—include topics as diverse as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Ramayana, Mahabharata, British Raj, Bollywood, horses and motifs of Indian urban and rural life.
M. F. Husain’s name has become almost synonymous with modern Indian art, for no single artist has popularised Indian art. M F Husain was a special invitee along with Pablo Picasso at the Sao Paulo Biennial (Brazil) in 1971.

About Kashmir Maqbool Fida Husain Painting
Featuring a traditionally dressed Kashmiri woman and a bearded man, probably a maulana or religious scholar, this painting builds on Husain’s earlier portrayals of people and life in Kashmir including Kashmiri Belle (1956), Shikara (circa late 1950s) and Kashmiri Couple (1966). Here, the seated figures are portrayed against the region’s Himalayan landscape with snowcapped mountains and several tall, distinctive poplar trees etched against a sapphire-blue sky. Across an oversize book that lies open on the woman’s lap, the polyglot artist uses Farsi script to inscribe the most famous couplet used to describe the valley. Usually attributed to the poet Amir Khusrau, its rough translation reads, “If there is a paradise on earth / It is this, it is this, it is this.”About the Posters
