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 Mythologies Of India Maqbool Fida Husain Painting
Husain’s association with Gujarat was lifelong. His step-mother’s family came from Sidhpur, in the northern part of the state, and his grandfather, whom he shared a close childhood relationship with, is buried in Ahmedabad. As a child, Husain also studied in a madrassa or religious school in Baroda, where he learnt not only about calligraphy and poetry, but also about Gandhi and the Indian freedom struggle, all of which remained sources of inspiration throughout his career. Some years later in the 1940s, when he was starting out as a painter of film hoardings in Bombay, Husain recalls frequently getting away to Gujarat to paint, inspired by its vivid and varied vistas. “As soon as I earned a little bit I used to take off for Surat, Baroda and Ahmedabad to paint landscapes” About the Art Prints
