MF Hussain's aesthetic vision in Meenaxi
Eccentric Indian artist, painter and movie maker M.F Hussain died a few months ago. It is very late that I now write on him. It is because I only recently realized that he has really ‘died’… I did not feel his death as strongly as others felt the time when he died.
It happens.
I will remember M.F Husain more for his movie ‘Meenaxi’ than his other artistic work. Off course, that his artistic work was his first recognition. It made him famous, it defamed him. But for me, his 2004 release ‘Meenaxi’ was more lively, artistic, mysterious and aesthetic. Before that he had produced ‘Gaja Gamini’ but it didn’t go quite very well as ‘Meenaxi’. M.F Husain will be remembered in my heart forever for his ‘Meenaxi’. I think it is a rare work in Bollywood. Not a single Hindi Movie I have watched which is as aesthetic and artistic as Meenaxi. Every scene has some hidden message or thought in it. Every color is toned with some meaning in the movie. Little things and very small details are symbolized in a heart captivating way. M.F Husain has played extensively with colors, symbols, textures and sentences in this movie. It is a dream of an artist.

Meenaxi is highly aesthetic and alluring, but devoid of any general meaning. ‘Meenaxi’ has no message. It has no slogan. It has no theory to prove. Only It is. A happening. It is as absurd as life itself is. An underrated but awesome creative work of this genius of the East.
The music of Meenaxi was composed by another musical genius of the East ‘A.R.Rahman’. His music in Meenaxi is as aesthetic as the movie itself. His music in Meenaxi requires another separate post, because it is also a phenomenon in itself. Take that track ‘Do Kadam Or Sahi’ and listen it patiently. It will reveal upon you slowly.

M.F Husain has died. Everybody else will die. But his paintings and movies shall be remembered as a great contribution to the collective artistic flow of human creativity.

Jbraguez: That painting is called ‘surrealist’ art. It is MF Hussain’s creativity at it highest.
I know that! I want to know the title, Surrealist is the artistic movement wich it is inserted.
It’s an untitled surrealist painting by Rafal Oblinski not M.F. Hussain’s (http://therealmrwright.blogspot.in/2011/04/surrealist-art-by-rafal-olbinski.html) This painting and many other paintings by Oblinski is being widely circulated through the net as Hussain’s and that is cruel !
Thank you Antony Philip for correcting this mistake for record. You are right. I had later learnt that some paintings are not by M.F Hussain.
