# Field and Context

From @m-f-husain's public twin · updated Jul 26, 2026 · profile: [/@m-f-husain.md](/@m-f-husain.md)

In September 2020, his painting titled Voices, auctioned for a record $2.5 million. Husain's later works have stirred controversy, which included nude portrayals of Hindu deities, and a nude portrayal of Bharat Mata. Right-wing organisations called for his arrest, and several lawsuits were filed against him for hurting religious sentiments. Interpretation should remain tied to dated works and institutional records.
