Maqbool Fida Husain's works have always been extreme. His controversial
painting so far only depicts as if he cannot thing any other creative topics
than sex.

There are. Among them is the not-so-well-known Brahmani

I once saw a painting of a Hindu Goddess painted by
Hussain ( I do not know which goddess it was ) riding
on Hanuman's tail. I am a Catholic but was utterly
revolted by this painting !! It was tasteless and was
obvious that it would hurt the sentiments of a great
number of people.

I have no issues whatsoever with MF Hussein or anyone else

Ms Carvalho,
Not being a an art critic I cannot discuss artists and
their paintings, most probably styles would have to be
taken into consideration.
As far as Hussain is concerned, he graduated directly
from painting posters(I think it is cinema posters) to
painting horses. I am yet to know which
.The big question posed recently by M.F Hussain's controversial
paintings. Should artists be given liberty to express their creativity
by making drawings and cartoons of Gods and Goddesses ? A freedom of
expression also warrants responsibility towards society. One should not
outrage any community,
Lets forget about his paintings of nude Hindu gods and godesses..as someone may
still see it as an modern or some other art or may be MF taking undue advantage
of Hindu tolrance.
But he went to the extent painting his own mother India nude? He was so
obsessed in nudity, vulgarity that he didn't
be aware of all that. Naguesh [EMAIL
