| Notes | Rabindranath Tagore was not only a great poet and novelist but also a great artist. He started painting in his late sixties and continued painting till he died. He left behind more than 2500 paintings and drawings, all done between 1928-41. Tagore's paintings are bereft of all spiritual solace; they portray silence and loneliness. They are also very strange--the viewer is not sure how to view his paintings. Many of the paintings in this volume can be placed beside the works of major twentieth century artists. |
