This vibrant idiom seamlesslyfuses stylistic and thematic aspects of the western modernist vocabulary with the indian visual tradition "Allf orms of art are born from one's roots" the name Maqbool Fida Husain has become almost synonymouse with contemporty Indianart and deservedly so, for no single artist has popularized Indian art within the country or internationally as Husain has done.
