Husain

The Timeless Modernist

New Delhi: 26th October 2024 – 14th December 2024
Venue: 22A Windsor Place, Janpath, New Delhi
Monday – Saturday, 11:00 am to 7:00 pm

This exhibition, Husain: The Timeless Modernist, celebrates the legacy of an icon. Husain’s career was one marked by profound vision, controversy, and passion—a true rebel with a deep connection to the pulse of his nation. He helped shape Indian modern art, co-founding the Progressive Artists’ Group in 1947, and redefining artistic freedom in a newly independent India. Known as the common man’s artist, Husain’s larger-than-life persona, his eccentricities, and his enduring accessibility made him beloved by art connoisseurs and the public alike. This exhibition spans his remarkable journey, showcasing pivotal works that reflect his powerful interpretations of Indian life, culture, and modernity. With contributions from leading scholars and personal reflections from those who knew him, this tribute hopes to offer new insights into the genius of Husain and the lasting impact of his art on India and the world.
