Maqbool Fida Husain (Indian, 1915–2011) Ganga and Yamuna – Triptych, circa 1990s

Acrylic on canvas, three panels Each panel 60 × 60 inches – overall 60 × 180 inches

A fifteen foot wide celebration of India’s sacred rivers. The rivers surge and twist in cobalt and emerald, their waters alive with leaping fish, lotuses, and half glimpsed goddesses. Husain paints with the urgency of a film director, each panel a separate explosion of movement that resolves into one majestic whole. Among the largest triptychs Husain ever created and one of the most ambitious works of his career.
