M. F. Husain: Horses of the Sun

Maqbool Fida Husain (1913–2011) was a legendary figure in the history of Indian modernism. A founding member of the Progressive Artists Group, (PAG), formed in Bombay in 1947, Husain played a leading role in revolutionising art in India by parting ways with the dominant genres of academic painting and miniaturist nostalgia. When he died in London at the age of 98, his life had already traced an arc through one of the most cataclysmic yet vibrant centuries in human history. The book features 100 artworks, archival images, artist biography and writings and includes insightful essays by Ranjit Hoskote, Bruce B. Lawrence and Shuddhabrata Sengupta celebrating the artist’s life and long lasting legacy.
