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 Village Woman Maqbool Fida Husain Indian Painting
Husain's Village Woman is a formative work, created at a crucial period of the artist's development. Painted in 1954, during his tenure with the Progressive Artists Group, the painting seems to teeter on the line between tradition and modernity. Its subject is drawn from observations of everyday life that is ordinary, even quaint. Her body is shaped as it would be depicted in a classical sculpture, and her dress and activity evoke the Basohli paintings Husain saw on his travels between 1948 and 1955. In its bold colors, strong calligraphic lines, and the angularity of her features, however, the painting displays a decisive departure from traditional style.About the Art Prints
