    Modern Indian Art: Post Independence
    • By the time India gained independence in 1947, several schools of art in India
    provided access to modern techniques and ideas. This same year a group of six
    artists (K. H. Ara, S. K. Bakre, H. A. Gade, M. F. Husain, S. H. Raza, and F. N.
    Souza) founded the Progressive Artist’s Group, a group aimed at establishing new
    ways of expressing Indian art in the post-colonial era. Though the group was
    dissolved in 1956, it was profoundly influential in changing the idiom of Indian art.
    • Modern Indian art typically shows the influence of Western styles but is often
    inspired by Indian themes and images.
    • M. F. Husain utilized a modified Cubist style to create narrative paintings.
    M. F. Husain
    • Maqbool Fida Husain better known as M. F. Husain (17 September 1915 – 9
    June 2011)was an Indian artist known for executing bold, vibrantly coloured
    narrative paintings in a modified Cubist style. He was one of the most
    celebrated and internationally recognised Indian artists of the 20th century.
    • He was one of the founding member of Bombay Progressive Artists' Group.
    M.F. Husain is associated with Indian modernism in the 1940s. His early
    association with the Bombay Progressive Artists' Group used modern
    technique, and was inspired by the "new" India after the partition of 1947.
    • His narrative paintings, executed in a modified Cubist style, can be caustic
    and funny as well as serious and sombre. His themes—sometimes treated in
    series—include topics as diverse as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, the Ramayana,
    the Mahabharata, the British Raj, and motifs of Indian urban and rural life.
