Maqbool Fida Husain’s artistic expressions pulsate The presented lot on exhibit at Dhoomimal Art Centre, New Delhi
with the identity of timelessness, his forms not only
celebrate the sacred relics of the past but also
embers the essence of thriving life. His creations
continue to proffer an ongoing narrative which
sustains its relevance amidst the ever-fleeting nature
of the present. The artist indeed played a pivotal role
in introducing independent India’s art to a wider
audience both within India and internationally.

He was at the forefront of our modernism movement
and constantly influenced the very genesis of
modern India’s artistic evolution. He developed a
style which is instantaneously recognisable, the
heightened tonal exasperations of his created forms,
resonated, being combined by his influence of art
movements such as Cubism and Expressionism, and
yet unrelentingly anchored to his roots.
