comment by some one on m f Hussein.?

Question

was he inspired by the art in the temples in alhora and aganta, or he wanted to disrespect the hindu religion by painting some stuff that might be objectionable to some people

Answer 1

Really, I think it is up to us individually to assess the painting.!

I wouldn't comment until I knew the person personally, he may have visualised something that may look wrong to us, right to him. If that's the case just put the painting away. He has apologised, It doesn't meant that he has screwed millions and millions of rupees out to public, like some NETAS, I can name. Good at blackening a characher, to suit their needs, I mean do I really have to even mention our former president and the mud smeared on the present!

50% and more don' t even see the painting(I haven't) or even know who he is, because they are too concerned with living day to day.

He paints as he sees, let him alone. You don't like it, don't see it period.

Answer 2

Maqbool Fida Husain, (born September 17, 1915, Pandharpur, Maharashtra) popularly known as M F Husain, is one of India's best known artists. According to Forbes magazine, he has been called the "Picasso of India".[1] After a long, successful career his work suddenly became controversial in 1996, when he was 81 years old, following the publication of an article about nude images of Hindu deities painted in the 1970s.[2][3]

Husain comes from a Muslim Indian family. His mother died when he was one and a half years old. His father remarried and moved to Indore, where Husain went to school. In 1935, he moved to Bombay and was admitted to the Sir J. J. School of Art. He started off by painting cinema hoardings.
Husain first became well-known as an artist in the late 1940s. In 1947, he joined the Progressive Artists' Group, founded by Francis Newton Souza. This was a clique of young artists who wished to break with the nationalist traditions established by the Bengal school of art and to encourage an Indian avant-garde, engaged at an international level. In 1952, his first solo exhibition was held at Zürich and over the next few years, his work was widely seen in Europe and U.S.. In 1955, he was awarded the prestigious Padma Shree prize by the Government of India
