But during this second round of controversy, the artist has not been in India. In the past seven months, he has been living in the UK, Switzerland, Dubai and Australia. “Husain has never stayed away from India for so long, maximum for a month,” said a source. Before he left the country, Husain clarified his position publicly. In a statement on February 7, he said, “Not that I love art less but I love humanity more. Whatever I’ve painted in my life, I’ve done with full conviction and full respect. In the process, if someone’s feelings are hurt, I apologise.”
