Hussain’s painting ‘Sunhera Sansaar’ at the1947 annual exhibition of the Bombay Art Society won an award and marked his entry as a known artist.

    ASHVA SHAKTI YASHOBAL!!!

    THREE CHEERS FOR THE 61ST CAVALRY AND THE PRESIDENTS BODY GUARDS!!!.

    Husain spent time at the 61st Rissala stables & royal stables of Rajmata Gayatri Devi in Jaipur.
    Rajmata Gayatri Devi patronized Indian painters like Ram Kumar, Gaitonde, Manjit Bawa, among others.
    It’s after this stint at Jaipur that he met Madhuri Dixit at an award function in 1994 and carried out a series of Horses & Madhuri paintings and then entered film making.

    He made a series of paintings on 61st Cavalry, PBG, various Rissala’s, Lancers, Cavalries, Army, State Forces & Polo. They were sketches & oil on canvases. These have remained private and not showcased publicly till date.

    The painting material was provided by courtesy of Rajmata Gayatri Devi & her friend Mrs Zorawar Singh. He painted over 25-30 sketches & paintings on the various Army Rissala’s, Cavalries, Lancers, Polo & horses.

    Husain would spend long hours watching young cavalry officers play practice & polo chukkars on the private cavalry polo grounds next to the Cavalry officers mess in Khatipura.
    He actually painted a live horse in the middle of Connaught Place in the early 90s at Happenings, belonging to koel & Kali Puri, during an art opening.

    To his mind the horse was a metaphor for freedom and he craved to be so free himself that he didn’t want to be shackled by anything.

    MF Husain was hoisted by The Maharani of Jaipur, Rajmata Gayatri Devi and The Jaipur Rissala between 1992 and 1995. The eminent painter spent his joyful days at the Jaipur Rissala which is
    presently known as the 61st Cavalry, staying in the cavalry officer’s mess. In his time over there, Husain painted a series of paintings which depicted the army and the polo horses. Besides Husain immortalized Her Highness Gayatri Devi in the various portraits, he painted of her. However, a few of those portraits remained incomplete as Husain could never return to culminate the artistic work he had undertaken at The Rissala.

    Talking of Rajmata Gayatri Devi, she strongly hoped that the market will lead to the arts coming into a happier position – as she said, art is the last thing people invest in when they have bought their real estate, jewels, cars and other expensive toys.

    She believed patronage was needed to support the artists for they are our heritage & repositories of culture. Both visual & performing artists & artistes needed to be given a better economic deal that gives them the freedom to create without having to worry where their next meal was going to come from.
    Art is a very erratic pay master, she pushed for schemes to be launched by Rajasthan Government to bring more artists within its ambit – after all, if assured work can be provided at the rural level for development, why not for artists, artistes & artisans?

    She wrote to the government to explore the possibility of taking a fresh look at arts management and create an arts cadre that will help run the several thousand arts institutions in the country.
    Introducing professional courses in institutes like IIM could be the first step to market the arts better towards the end of making the arts self sufficient. Steps need to be taken urgently to undo the damage wreaked by unscrupulous art galleries. In their race to extract their profits they raised the prices of art to unsustainable levels, leaving many artists in the country in pitiable conditions.

    She supported artists in best possible ways for sustainable growth. She acquired for her personal collections and gifting to her close friends, art works of upcoming and established Indian painters. Her homes Indian painters adorn the walls. I personally remember an incident where on my retuem from Delhi polo season, I mentioned to her about the plight and hard times Mr Gaitonde had fallen on as he along with Ramkumar, Manjit Bawa, Khanna were closely associated with the cavalry and were regulars to the Jaipur Polo grounds at Delhi. She heard me and next morning wished to buy his works along with few other artists. 30-35 oil on canvases of the painters immediately. That purchase had hugely helped Gaitonde to tide over his large accumulated debts after his accident which left him physically restrained and then the fire which destroyed his house, She did not want anyone to know other than Mrs Zorawar Singh her close confidante.

    She had most pious and gentle helping heart and she felt pained for any artists trouble.

    God Bless her and the family. Thanks to God her grand children bring her great peace and she must be happy in heaven’s see them do so well. Princesses Lalitya, her husband and her lovely children and Maharaj Devraj bring her great honor. They are doing extremely well and very humble and beautiful in their demeanor. May Hanuman bless them.

    ASHVA SHAKTI YASHOBAL!!!

    He used to made portraits of his family members like mother, daughter, sister and we called this picture as saraswati



  30. Yashwanth Mayasandra on May 31, 2023 at 5:03 am

    Amateur painter over hyped by media and certain so called intellectuals . Look at real painters like Milind Mulick , Joseph Zbukvic , Amit Kapoor , Bijay Biswal , etc etc . This guy is nothing in front of all these painters .
