DAG presents Husain: The Timeless Modernist, an exhibition spanning six decades of celebrated artist M. F. Husain’s prolific career, showcasing his versatility across various media and affirming his status as a true savant of the arts. The show is a tribute to the master whose every stroke on the canvas was, at its core, a love letter to the nation he cherished, and a reflection on his timeless spirit and its enduring impact on the world of art.
A maverick driven by instinct and spontaneity, Husain was both widely popular and controversial. His unconventional approach to life and art drew admiration, but also, at times, sparked significant debate in his homeland. Persistent threats eventually forced him into self-exile, yet, his heart remained tethered to his country, a longing that stayed with him until his final days.
