"Untitled (Figures), 1965" is among the well-known paintings by the great Indian master M F Husain. Universally acclaimed as one of India's modern masters, Maqbool Fida Husain is unparalleled in his breadth of artistic vision and sophisticated re-contextualization of European Modernism.

His endless quest for the cultural roots and a fearlessly open-minded willingness to absorb diverse influences has made Husain one of the most recognisable figures of modern Indian art. The controversial artist known for narrative paintings, executed in a modified Cubist style, the modern master is regarded by some as the Picasso of India.
