RE: Sharing is Caring - Paintings You Like
M.F. Husain was the uncrowned king of colors and many compared him to the Picasso of India, but his name has also been associated with controversy.
While his paintings were good, he is best known for creating controversial bold, vibrant, and colorful paintings.
Husain was also a brilliant photographer and filmmaker. He won many national awards for his works of art, but his antics never gave him the recognition he deserved.
Muchos artistas cuando no se rigen por ciertas normas, son catalogados o no son valorados como se debe, es este el caso de Husain.
Esta foto que presentas es una de sus pinturas? O es una escultura?
Gracias por participar, bendiciones.
He was given all due respect started behaving differently in the end painting in a way unacceptable to a section of the society. This is one of his large number of paintings.
Seems like a weird thing to get mad about. Especially coming from the culture that came up with the Kamasutra. On the other hand, India appears to be somewhat rigid in ways I don't really understand. Or as a westerner, I guess. Take the no kissing in movies kind of thing, for example.
I like this one.
Actually, what he faced was kind of retaliation otherwise there was no objection.
No kissing is fine. I like Korean films because of that.
If it comes to India they are more known and at times disliked for different reasons than weird artists. Can be the artists wasn't part of the right class or is it called cast? 🤔
Are you a colourful person @grebmot
Some might say I'm a colorful person, but I'm not a person of color. If that's what you're asking ;-)
Could be classism, totally. To be fair though, I think we've got a little bit of that going on as well. My dad was a plumber and I remember stumbling upon a giant painting he did on a large piece of drywall. Must've been in the wake of my parent's divorce. I didn't even know he could do that and for all I can tell it was the only painting he ever did. He never even mentioned it, despite having talent. Being an artist? Might as well could've told him to become an astronaut. Seriously.
Then you've got plenty of college educated snobs, who sneer at the thought of working class people doing their own art. Like legit dirt shoveling, straight from the construction site type of beer drinking blue-collar workers. Could be because they're not adhering to implied rules and regulations, like in terms of what constitutes being a proper "artiste", or just them potentially ruining the scam. You know, the whole Wizard of Oz, don't mind the man behind the curtain type of thing. Unless you're legitimately undeniably great, but ironically enough they then might end up building a phantasmagoria around you. Because you couldn't just be a guy, you know?
Personally I recall a rare visit to big art store. It sounds absurd, but it really felt like I was having a fever dream. Each way I looked I saw guys wearing black turtle necks and french berets smugly jibber jabber about their paint brushes and who knows what. Then a frigid looking woman would walk by and winkle her nose at a mom browsing magic markers and mumble some thinly veiled insult. It was weird. Not even good weird, just weird. Back home I felt dirty. So much so I almost trashed my own art. I can't properly articulate the sentiment, but I just stood there hovering over my doodles in silence. Like some kind of conflicted farmer with a revolver in his hand, thinking about putting down a sick horse.
Hi @dove11
I just looked up the artist and the first images that appeared remind me of Picasso, but in Husain I see much more strength, movement and freedom. His frames seem almost cinematic.

He was one of the best as an artist and he won everything in India but the only thing that went against him was his public behavior.
Guao. Esta obra me encanta. Tiene un mensaje metapictórico interesante. Me documentaré más sobre los trabajs realizados por Husains
Thanks for tagging me. Let's tag @tezzmax @grebmot and @joslud as well.
It feels to me that Husain is an allround very skilled artist.
Like Michelangelo Husain is remembered for his paintings and also photographs (most likely seen in the same line) and film making. Perhaps this fame overshadowed all his other creations? I wonder if it is caused by what is promoted first.
Strange how his antics never made him world famous. 🤔
Thanks for sharing this great artist.
♥️🍀

Actually, this great painter made so much mockery of a particular religion so he didn't get what he deserved although he earned tons of moneies.
@tezzmax @grebmot and @joslud as well.
Nice. I just checked him out, his abstractions are quite fascinating.
You know he never used footwear but went barefoot everywhere? He had a lot of money but he was a weird artist. If he behaved a little normally, he would be on top of the painting world. 😂
Lol..... Artists are bound to be weird in their own way.
I agree. Why do shoes matter? Ihave strong doubts about artists doing tricks to fit in.
Whatever works for each and everyone of us I guess.
