The Indian Embassy in Cairo celebrated on Saturday the inauguration of its latest exhibition, Rabindranath Tagore: Rhythm in Colours, in the attendance of several Egyptian cultural figures. The exhibition displays a number of portraits Tagore painted in his life, as well as sculptures of him. The opening witnessed a presentation by Amrit Sen, a professor and head of the department of English at Visva-Bharati University, in which he discussed Tagore’s paintings and his portrait styles, especially when it comes to colours. Spurred by a spirit of inventiveness, Tagore’s paintings merged the familiar with the unknown. After he developed his love for painting, Tagore described the visible world around him “as a vast procession of forms,” Sen said.
