Maqbool Fida Husain was born on September 17, 1915 in Pandharpur, India, into a Muslim family. In 1935, he moved to Bombay and entered the Sir J. J. School of Art. In 1947, he joined the Bombay Progressive Artists' Group founded by Francis Newton Souza, a faction of young artists eager to break with the Bengali school and encourage the avant-garde on an international level. In 1952, his first solo exhibition was held in Zurich. In 1966, he received the Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan awards. The following year, he directed the short film Through the Eyes of a Painter, which won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival. In 1996, after a long career, some of Husain's work sparked controversy, as it depicted naked Hindu deities. The offending paintings were executed in the 1970s, but didn't attract attention until 1996, when they were reproduced in the Hindu magazine Vichar Mimansa. Several complaints are lodged against Husain. A group of activists destroyed his paintings in a gallery and later attacked his house. In 2004, the Delhi High Court dismissed charges against the artist of "supporting enmities between different communities by depicting naked Hindu goddesses". In 2006, Husain was arrested again, and complaints were lodged against him. He refused to appear in court. An arrest warrant was issued. He received death threats and decided to leave India for the UK. He died in London in 2011 at the age of 95. Before his death, the Supreme Court had suspended the arrest warrant against him. Our painting, done in 1998, depicts a dancer practicing bharata natyam. This is one of India's oldest traditional dances. It expresses the religious themes and spiritual ideas of South India, in particular Shivaism, Vishnuism and Skaktism. It is often a solo dance that takes a long time to learn. The particularity of our painting is that it is duochrome, i.e. it features only two colors: black and white. Some call these non-colors. On an almost monochrome black background, the painter uses white pigment to create lines and flat areas. These two antithetical colors create a contrast and thus become complementary.
