More on M F Husain – the great artist
17 May 2007
I wrote about M F Husain’s persecution at the hands of extremists here. Parvaiz Alvi sent me images of his works that were most representative of his early style. Ethereal lines and hues transform the canvas.

Just read today that Sotheby will showcase some of his works (among other Indian artists). Loved this quote :
I am a creative person and feel that there is no end to creativity. Only 10 per cent of what is inside me has found an expression. Even 10 lives will not be enough for me..
What a shame that a living genius is suffering at the hands of bigots and the aesthetically challenged!

Hon’ble Sir,

This world is full of purities & impurities and we in the race of materialistic needs never get time to think about our motherland and environment. We are so busy that we never think about anything apart from our family and materialistic requirements. Do we know the truth of the flowers, which we dedicate to our Lord ” The Creator of this world”? Sir, if you find any truth in the above illustration, let us feel the strength of your conviction by your participation in this Spiritual Mission.
We are presently organizing a 108 days progarmme called YAMUNA MAHA UTSAV. To clean as much as possible of the poly bags and flowers from repeating error of putting flowers and poly bags again unto the river. All over India the festival season has started within Ganesh Chaturthi hence we must take action now. We are also organizing Door to Door campaigning to educate uniform people in addition to touching almost 2 lace school children to help in our endeavor.
