Legendary Indian painter Maqbool Fida Husain, popularly known as ‘Picasso of India’ who earned both fame and wrath for his paintings, died here today at a hospital following over a month-long illness. He was 95. Husain breathed his last at 2.30 am local time (07:00 IST) at the Royal Brompton Hospital where he was admitted after being in “indifferent health” for the last one-and-a-half month, family sources told PTI.
The painter, whose works fetched astronomical sums at the recent Bonham’s auctions – the highest for any Indian artist, was living in self-exile since 2006 following a series of legal cases and death threats against him over his paintings depicting Hindu goddesses in nude. Born in Pandharpur in Maharashtra on September 17, 1915, Husain courted controversy over his paintings of Hindu goddesses.
His paintings on goddesses Durga and Saraswati invited the wrath of Hindu groups which attacked his house in 1998 and vandalised his art works.
