M. F. Husain, the legendary Indian artist, turns 93 on September 17, 2008. On September 8 he was cleared of all obscenity charges by the Supreme Court of India. It's probably the best birthday present he could have ever received. "The Supreme Court has shown it is actually supreme... What a great gift" said Husain.
"they have understood the dignity of Indian contemporary art," added Husain, who has been in self-imposed exile in Dubai since January 2006 when right-wing groups threatened him with dire consequences.
Artist Anjolie Ela Menon, who met Husain a few months ago in Dubai, says: "He has the energy of a young man and his life is to paint everyday. Which other Indian painter has made 300 paintings of the Mahabharat? Husain is undoubtedly the grand old man of Indian contemporary art and we must get him back here."
