Maqbool Fida Husain (1913-2011) is a central figure in Indian
modern art, and the most represented artist in Mathaf's collection.
A founding member of the Progressive Artists Group, formed in
Bombay in 1947, Husain played a leading role in revolutionising art
in India by parting ways with the dominant genres of academic
painting and miniaturist nostalgia. This book investigates the work
produced in all six decades of Husain's artistic practice, and
includes paintings, prints, poetry, architecture, textile and film.
It is divided into three themes: first, the idea of home as a
habitat, a repository of Husain's childhood memories, and a space
of exploration; second, the human passion for creativity and
knowledge; and third, a multitude of approaches to the cosmic and
divine aspects of being - expressed in myths, philosophies, world
religions, narratives and symbols. The book also presents Husain's
portfolio on Islamic Civilisations, a series of 99 works
commissioned by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser in 2007.
