Re: [mukto-mona] Color blindness of Rabindranath Tagore



I do not know whether we should call Tagore a painter? He was a famous man and could afford to get into any field and create sensation. There were probably many contemporary artists, who were better than Tagore but could not make much dent in the painting field. I would call Tagore's passion for painting was only a hobby that gave him some respite from his poetry, prose and music compositions.
A Colorblind poet? No, he was not!

Rabindranath Tagore started painting relatively late in his career when he was in his sixties. Nevertheless he produced more than three thousand paintings in his remaining years.  Not only that, he was the first Indian artist to exhibit his arts across the world including Paris, Germany, Russia and the United States in 1930. But did we know Rabindranath Tagore was a bit "color blind"? Here is my take on this interesting topic:
