Maqbool Fida Husain (Hindi: मक़बूल फ़िदा हुसैन, 17 September 1915 – 9 June 2011) commonly known as MF, was an eminent Indian painter. According to Forbes magazine, he has been regarded as the "Picasso of India".
Husain was associated with Indian modernism in the 1940s. After a long career, in 1996, when Husain was 81 years old, controversy arose over paintings originally created in the 1970s which were interpreted by some as being anti-Hindu. After legal cases and death threats in his home country, he was on a self imposed exile from 2006. In January 2010, he was offered the citizenship of Qatar, which he accepted. He died in London in June 2011.
