Masood Hussain

Masood Hussain is Ex-H.O.D Department of Applied Arts Institute of music & Fine Arts, Srinagar. He is born June 15, 1953 Srinagar, Kashmir. He completed G.D. Art Commercial from Sir J.J. Institute of Applied Arts, Mumbai.The thought of Kashimr draws us to imagine ourselves amidst lush green valleys, crystal clear lakes, gushing steams, snow capped mountains and every thing that a paradise can offer. Seldom do we traverse the alleys which enrich the natural charisma of the environment. Kashmir culture is primarily agrarian in nature and remains restricted to small hamlets in these days of fast urbanization. Massod Hussain, the well known Kashmiri artist, is an accomplished draughtsman. He is a prolific watercolorist and has fathomed the life that had yet to receive the attention of a deeply sensitive artist. The feel of this life has been captured with an almost photo-realistic disposition not leaving any part of the surface unattended. His inquisitive eye and immaculate brush carries us to a world which lies beneath the apparent romance of Kashmir photography thus receiving the actual while transcending the real with sincere contemplation.
