Rabindranath's Paintings - a Painter's Amazement 1

When a great poet paints - the voyage turns internal - discovering the hidden treasures of souls The saga unfolds... A poetry written in lines and curves
29.11.15 For the contest : Favorite Painter Sponsored by : Nayda Ivette Negron A recipient of the Nobel Prize (1913) for literature, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was born in an affluent Bengali family. The versatile genius developed an acute sensibility towards various art forms such as literature, poetry, dance and music. He was well aware of contemporary cultural trends around the world. Tagore’s journey as a painter began in his late sixties as an extension of his poetic consciousness. Though he had hardly any formal training in art, he developed a highly imaginative and spontaneous visual vocabulary, enhanced by a sound understanding of visual art practices such as modern western, primitive and child art. - Source : National Gallery of Modern Art, Govt. of India, http://ngmaindia.gov.in/sh-rabindranath.asp If you want to enjoy his paintings, please google it. As Nayda has restricted this contest in Nonet form, I have to finish it in nine lines only. But I wish to write a Haibun on this subject later, to satisfy my humble self.

Hi Bobby, another excellent write from your pen. I think some poetry forms are too short, sometimes you need scope to truly get into the painter you are writing of. Yet still, in saying this you have done well to express your feelings in Nonet form. A belated congrats on your win my friend. The heart leads the way....Vlad. A 7 for this Nonet my friend.
