M.F. Husain, India’s Picasso, Dies in Exile - Global Spin - TIME.com:
"Husain, a Muslim, was the victim of an altogether more modern curse: India's politicized religious sectarianism. Yet he himself was comfortably secular. And though his art seems drawn from India's rich, syncretic traditions — suffused with Hindu iconography and Sufi mysticism — he learned his trade as a painter of flashy, colorful billboards for early Bollywood films, that most modern and glitzy Indian artistic tradition."
