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.

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.

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.
他的第一批作品極具想象力，通常以動(dòng)物或虛構(gòu)生物為主題，充滿了活力和幽默。人物被描繪成具有表現(xiàn)性姿勢(shì)的個(gè)體，或戲劇場(chǎng)景中的群體，就像我們今天展示的這幅水彩畫(huà)一樣。在 1930 年代創(chuàng)作的肖像畫(huà)中，他以一種讓人聯(lián)想到面具或人物角色的方式描繪人的面孔。風(fēng)景題材是泰戈?duì)栕髌分袛?shù)量最少的。
