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



//A Colorblind poet? No, he was not!//
In medical terms, Tagore was affected by 'Protonopia', a  condition resulting from insensitivity to red light, causing confusion of greens, reds, and yellows. It is hereditary and is the most common form of color-blindness.

Read my article you will get tons of evidences for it -

or even check from Wiki as well:

Paintings

At sixty, Tagore took up drawing and painting; successful exhibitions of his many works—which made a debut appearance in Paris upon encouragement by artists he met in the south of France[100]—were held throughout Europe. He was likely red-green color blind, resulting in works that exhibited strange colour schemes and off-beat aesthetics.
