Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore derived inspiration from diverse sources while articulating his unparalleled ingenuity in the realm of visual, literary and performing arts. His uniquely expressed Rabindra Nritya (Tagore’s Dance) has been recognized as an unmistakable fount of creativity. This ‘mood dance’ incorporates the suitable dance elements from the classical dances of the Indian sub-continent and the regional dances of the Asia-Pacific. Tagore portrayed his seasonal odes and music dramas through this wonderful form of art.
The book explores at the treasure-trove of his music and the panoply of his paintings, unearthing only the dancing figures, thereby unravelling their mystique. It also covers the legacy of his dance, which has been carried over by the choreographers who have used Tagore’s dance.
The book is alive with paintings and pictures of the art-form - truly a tribute to 150 years of Rabindranath Tagore.
