pen and ink on paper, image 30 x 30cm; framed and glazed, ArtDeal Auction House, 'Spring Auction', 26 April 2015, lot 68; purchased directly from the buyer of the above; a private collection, Surrey. Maqbool Fida Husain (1915-2011) was a founding member of the Progressive Artists' Group established in Mumbai in 1947. Its members sought to combine Indian artistic traditions with the European avant-garde visual language. Husain's distinctive style, characterised by bold, direct lines and simplified forms, developed through his engagement with both Indian art and European modernism. A visit to the India Independence Exhibition in 1948, where he encountered classical Indian sculpture and Rajput and Pahari miniatures, marked an important turning point in his practice. His subsequent travels in Europe in 1953, where he encountered the work of Klee, Matisse and Picasso, further informed his visual language, while his subject matter remained deeply rooted in Indian culture and mythology.
