Rabindranath Tagore was an Indian polymath—poet, writer, playwright, composer, philosopher, and social reformer. He reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1913 he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. He also wrote the national anthems for both India and Bangladesh. And, he was a painter.

罗宾德拉纳特-泰戈尔是一位印度博学大师——诗人、作家、剧作家、作曲家、哲学家和社会改革家。19 世纪末20 世纪初,他用语境现代主义重塑了孟加拉文学音乐及印度艺术。1913年,他成为第一位获得诺贝尔文学奖的非欧洲人。他还为印度和孟加拉国创作了国歌。而且,他是一位画家。

At 60, 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, were held throughout Europe. He was likely red-green color blind, resulting in works that exhibited strange color schemes and off-beat aesthetics. His painting style was very individual, characterized by simple bold forms and a rhythmic quality, and later served to inspire many modern Indian artists.

60岁时,泰戈尔开始画画;在法国南部遇到的其他艺术家的鼓励下,他的许多作品成功地在巴黎首次亮相,并在欧洲各地展览。他很可能是红绿色盲,导致作品呈现奇怪的配色和另类的美学。他的绘画风格非常个性,以简单大胆的形式和节奏感为特征,后来启发了许多印度现代艺术家。

His first paintings were highly imaginative works, usually focusing on animals or imaginary creatures, which are imbued with vitality and humor. Human figures are depicted either as individuals with expressive gestures or in groups in theatrical settings, like in the watercolor we present today. In portraits produced during the 1930s, he renders the human face in a way reminiscent of a mask or persona. Landscape subjects represent the smallest output among Tagore’s works.

他的第一批作品极具想象力,通常以动物或虚构生物为主题,充满了活力和幽默。人物被描绘成具有表现性姿势的个体,或戏剧场景中的群体,就像我们今天展示的这幅水彩画一样。在 1930 年代创作的肖像画中,他以一种让人联想到面具或人物角色的方式描绘人的面孔。风景题材是泰戈尔作品中数量最少的。
