India's most highly prized artist MF Husain dies aged 95

Breaking news
One of India's most famous artists, MF Husain, has died in hospital in London at the age of 95, a source close to his family has said.
He had been unwell for several months.
Maqbool Fida Husain was India's most highly prized - and perhaps most controversial - painter and his work sold for millions of dollars.
His paintings of nude Hindu goddesses angered hardline Hindus who accused him of obscenity. He left India in 2006 and took up Qatari nationality in 2010.
