M.F. Hussain (Maqbool Fida Husain) Paintings

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. When he took up painting as an art form, he returned time and again to his roots, and to themes that blended folk, tribal and mythological art to create vibrantly contemporary, living art forms. His themes—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.

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 Mithuna

The painting depicts Husain's modernism confronts Indian classical aesthetics at a fundamental level, as elsewhere the posture of his female figure standing to the right of the canvas draws upon the tribhanga postures of classical sculpture. More importantly, here, he also contends with the classical concept of the Mithuna or loving couple. These amorous couples, known in Sanskrit generally as mithuna are an integral part of the ornamentation of many classical temples both within the Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Generally seen as an auspicious symbol of fertility, such couples are frequently included on either side of the entrance to a shrine. The couples are understood to have multiple meanings, ranging from an obvious celebration of life's pleasures to the more metaphorical symbolism of a human soul's longing for union with the divine.
