DAG presents The Timeless Modernist, an exhibition that celebrates the legacy of India’s foremost modernist, Maqbool Fida Husain. Spanning almost six decades of his practice across the key themes that dominated his work, Husain: The Timeless Modernist features a collection that translates every phase of Husain’s artistic journey from the 1950s to the 2000s and reflects on his everlasting impact on the world of art. Opening on 26 October 2024 at DAG, New Delhi, it brings together 116 works including depictions of women as mythological, historical and everyday beings; his fascination with horses—rooted in childhood experiences and observations of India’s culturally diverse practices; drawings and paintings that explore the idea of nationhood; and portraits and self-portraits that reflect his larger-than-life social persona.
