Maqbool Fida Husain |
|
| Maqbool Fida Husain, undoubtedly the most popular and prolific contemporary Indian artist, laughs at the word ‘exile’. His is a full-throated laughter of a man who has seen 90 plus one seasons of life and creativity. The irony is that he says this while in exile of sorts, away from his home country.
Is it a willing suspension of disbelief when the maverick painter, whose one canvas fetches a crore and more, says: "What is ‘exile’? Because I’ve been wandering all over the world for the last 50 years? I have been working all the time, there is no such thing as exile.
In fact, my exhibition is opening on December 30 in Kolkata. And I’ll be there." He said so to Shekhar Gupta walking the talk with him in Dubai last year. However, it was not Gupta who walked the talk but Husain who did so. December came and went, and January is almost gone but Abba Husain is still to return home. |
