Ms Carvalho, Not being a an art critic I cannot discuss artists and their paintings, most probably styles would have to be taken into consideration. As far as Hussain is concerned, he graduated directly from painting posters(I think it is cinema posters) to painting horses. I am yet to know which style of painting he follows, to me (untrained eye) it looks like paintings of beings (Gods and Goddesses) and frankly not erotic but vulgar. But the question is why doesn't this artist paint gods from his own religion, or the prophet, as I pointed out in my earlier post and some other poster has also mentioned it, maybe then we could think of his work as 'true' art and not vulgar sensationalism
