Muses. Magic. The artist I’m talking about today has been enamoured not just by art, but by the art of celluloid in a way that most of us cannot comprehend. Maqbool Fida Husain, often called The Picasso of India, was not just an artist — he was a true cinephile. While the barefoot artist was known for his masterpieces on canvas, not many know that his love for Bollywood was a big part of his life. He once very famously said: “Film is the most powerful medium to articulate your ideas with force. It has actors, dialogues, songs, music and yes, colours.” M. F. Husain started his career at a very young age by working as a Bollywood poster maker, where his romance with the industry actually began. He brought to life the billboards of Devdas (1955) and worked for independent matinees before becoming a professional artist. The Padma Bhushan recipient changed the landscape of art and how it was consumed by art connoisseurs — becoming one the greatest contemporary artists of the 20th century — all while making movies and consuming them. Isn’t it lovely how cinema and art can permeate each other so beautifully? What are your thoughts on his work? Have you seen any of his films? Let me know in the comments down below, guys! #StrokesOfSubstance #MFHusain #IndianContemporaryArtist #ModernArt A post shared by Sonam K Ahuja (@sonamkapoor) on Sep 26, 2020 at 5:28am PDT Sonam Kapoor is quite active on her Instagram and doesn’t hesitate to pour in her true feelings about everything. In one of her recent posts on Instagram, she shared a heartfelt post for legendary artist M.F. Hussain. She posted a few pictures and video clippings of the artist that showcased his famous works and interviews. In the caption, she shared the entire journey of M.F. Hussain, starting from making Bollywood posters to receiving Padma Bhushan. Later, she asked her fans about their thoughts on the legendary artist’s work. She also asked them whether they had seen any of his films and asked them to share it in the comment section. Later, fans shared their thoughts on Sonam Kapoor’s post and thanked her for sharing this lesser-known information about M.F. Hussain.
