You can tell what a writer is thinking from his books and screenplay; similarly, it is easy to read an artiste’s mind from his paintings. On the surface, many of Husain paintings appear a collection of images but the juxtaposed familiar places and faces reflect a thought process. It is a comment on what he feels about those turbulent times or about his surroundings.
So many of these immortal images on popular walls of popular buildings stand testimony of his endurance, of what happened many years ago…Today, as his well-wishers make sincere attempts to resurrect old images, the artist is probably smiling down from the heaven and smiling.
