M. F. Husain


These are some paintings by M. F. Husain, a famous Indian artist who passed away last year. During his life, he won several high-standing awards, granted by the government of India. As an artist, he worked with many different themes from different religious backgrounds. Much of his work features deities of Catholicism, Buddhism and Hinduism.  I particularly appreciate his modern depictions of Hindu gods and goddesses (including the last image of the Hindu god, Ganesh).
