Ananda Coomaraswamy once said: ‘Everyman is an artist but an Artist is a special kind of man’. Dr. Mulk raj Anand interprets the paintings of Rabindra ... Nath Tagore in the light of this aphorism. Indeed, the poet Rabindra Nath found himself doodling on page proofs: His pen became a brush: The brush followed the rhythm of his hand: and what was once written in words became a picture. Later he self-consciously painted in black and white, and colour, certain imperceptible feelings, which welled up in him, as poems used to do before. He was himself surprised to find that the poet in him had turned painter. Indian critics reluctantly accepted the disharmony of the pictures, while in the west he was hailed as one of the few surrealist artists of Asia. Certainly his paintings echo the collective unconscious of his time.
