INDIA-ARTS-HUSAIN
A pedestrian walks past a painting done by the late Indian artist M.F.Husain on the tiled wall of an art gallery in Mumbai on June 10, 2011. India's most famous and controversial modern artist, M.F. Husain, who fled the country in 2006 after death threats from Hindu extremists, died in London on June 9, 2011 at the age of 95. The Muslim painter's death brought to an end a turbulent chapter in modern India that showed how religious sentiments could still be easily aroused -- often for political ends -- and the limits of artistic self-expression. Maqbool Fida Husain, a former Bollywood poster artist whose career took off after Indian independence in 1947, had been in London where three of his paintings were sold by the auction house Bonhams as recently as last week.
