The Hindu Business Line : Husain works his magic at ISB

THE Indian School of Business (ISB) hosted the well-known painter Mr M.F. Husain on Tuesday. Mr Rajat Gupta, Chairman of the ISB, escorted Mr Husain around the campus and introduced him to the students, faculty and staff.

In an interactive session with the students, Mr Husain spoke about his life and art. "I would like to visit the ISB again to show you my film and discuss it since a film is a more complete medium," he said. The artist created a piece for ISB with a few deft strokes of his paintbrush.

Talking about the event, Mr Rajat Gupta said, "To have such a Master of his art in our midst was truly an honour. Our students were delighted with the opportunity to see the master work his magic firsthand."

The ISB claimed that Mr Rajat Gupta is creating business school history as the first Professor of Management Practice, teaching a course on Leadership and Transformation. The faculty position has been designed to bring the experiences of eminent management practitioners to ISB students, a release said.
