The late M.F. Husain’s (1915-2011) painting ‘Tomare Salaam’ (Satyajit Ray) (oil on canvas, 94.5 x 47.2 inches) is a delightful example of one visual master depicting another in his inimitable style. Signed ‘Husain’ in Bangla, the painting shows Ray mid-gesture, several iterations of his hands showing “motion lines” la superhero comics. Ray is doing what he did best, instructing his cast and crew, bringing to life whole worlds before our eyes. “I am very grateful to him because through his films I have known India with a very deep insight,” says the handwritten caption at the bottom right-hand corner.
