Untitled 1959

This untitled artwork by M.F. Husain from 1959 is a vibrant and stylized depiction of Hindu mythology. The painting features Shiva, the god of destruction and transformation, with his consort Parvati, depicted as a dancing figure. Their presence is emphasized by the vibrant colours and simplified forms, a characteristic of Husain's artistic style. The background features a bright yellow circle, representing the sun, with a stylized bull at the bottom, likely representing Nandi, Shiva's mount. Husain's artwork often explored themes of Indian mythology, bringing a contemporary perspective to traditional narratives.
