M.F. Husain (1915-2011)

MF Husain passes away in London!

Mf Hussain has been called the Picasso of India; a great painter!

Hussain lived in exile and accepted Qatari citizenship as he enraged Indian Hindu Groups after he painted nude pictures of Hindu Deities.

His narrative paintings, executed in a modified Cubist style, can be caustic and funny as well as serious and sombre.
