Sep 14, Mumbai: M F Husain doesn’t always celebrate his birthday. On one occasion Husain slept through his birthday, blissfully unaware that it was his birthday. But his 94th birthday will truly be a special occasion. Celebrity photographer and writer, Pradeep Chandra will gift him the ‘first glimpse’ of the coffee table book – M F Hussain: A Pictorial Tribute – authored by him.

Pradeep Chandra has been closely associated with M F Husain for over three decades and has captured some very special moments of the latter’s life. There are several
books written on Husain, but this book is more of a gift than a mere publication. It is not only a tribute to Husain but for all those who admire and appreciate art.

As the show opened, he announced that each serigraph will be given to the students standing below the painting,” adds Chandra.
