Living Goddess 1960

"Living Goddess" (1960) by M.F. Husain is a vibrant example of his signature style, characterized by bold, graphic forms and bright, contrasting colors. This painting features a central figure, likely representing a goddess, depicted in a stylized, almost abstract manner, surrounded by other figures and symbols. The use of strong diagonals and overlapping shapes creates a sense of dynamism and movement. Husain, born in 1915 and a leading figure in the Indian Progressive Artists' Group, often drew inspiration from Indian mythology and culture, which are likely reflected in this work.
