Art comes under attack as a Delhi court orders seizure of two MF Husain paintings
-
Maqbool Fida Husain, arguably among India's finest artists, died in exile in 2011. He was forced to leave his homeland after hundreds of lawsuits were filed against him on charges of obscenity in his works and for hurting religious sentiments.
But the targeting of Husain hasn't ceased even after his demise, as is evident from the plea filed in a Delhi local court that two of his works that were on view in a private art gallery as part of a December exhibition, Husain: The Timeless Modernist, depicted Hindu deities in an "objectionable manner". The court ordered that the two paintings be "seized".
