  • Influence of Kadambari Devi in Rabindranath Tagore's Paintings
    Journal of Fine Arts Volume 2, Issue 3, 2019, PP 10-12 ISSN 2637-5885 Influence of Kadambari Devi in Rabindranath Tagore’s Paintings Disha Mondal* M.A., English Literature, Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan, West-Bengal, India *Corresponding Author: Disha Mondal, M.A., English Literature, Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan, West-Bengal, India, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Rabindranath Tagore began painting relatively late in his career when he was in his sixties. Nevertheless he produced thousands of works and was the first Indian artist to exhibit his works across Europe, Russia and the United States in 1930. His painting style was very individual, characterized by simple bold forms and a rhythmic quality, and later served to inspire many modern Indian artists. Tagore painted landscapes, animal figures and human faces. The human faces are a prominent constant in his artistic works. His painted faces depict various moods: fear, romantic, melancholy and many more to say. This paper intends to analyse who were these women who inspired Tagore to produce such paintings. Key Words: women, veil, darkness, emotion “I know not who paints the pictures on memory’s very busy. Now Holidays have begun. I am canvas; but whoever he may be what he is painting thinking of just to sit in a corner and paint. I don’t are pictures; by which I mean that he is not there feel like using my pen…” We can realize that with his brush simply to make a faithful copy of all Rabindranath was engrossed in painting so much that is happening.” Rabindranath Tagore Jivan that he even did not wish to write then.

If this spirit remains with us, then indeed Gandhiji’s suffering will not have been in vain; like the death and suffering of other innocent men, his testimony will be a part of our future. Gandhiji will perhaps succeed with us in his death though we failed him in his life. In a last gesture of farewell, a friend of man folded his hands, and greeted us. And then when his body was carried away to the room where many of us had seen him at work, in happy conversation and full of affectionate joy, he was quiet and still. Perfect peace lay on him, as the candlelight Dedicated in friendship to played on his face and hymns were sung in God’s name, the Blanche And William Stuart Nelson hymns that he had loved. That is the picture of a heroic Howard University saint who conquered.

This had many implications, including the need to establish individual board, develop independent strategy, and set-up autonomous governance. The host organisation was keen to investigate the effectiveness of the current strategy deployment (SD) process and subsequently identify areas for improvement. Our investigation looked into adapting strategy deployment systems such as the Closed-Loop Management Systems (Kaplan and Norton 2008) at NHS CHS organisations which can facilitate organisational needs in the area of strategy deployment. As human capital with the suitable skills is required for any successful implementation of a management system, the researchers expanded the scope by including an assessment of the organisation’sreadiness for adapting formal strategy deployment systems in terms of management skills levels. 020-0357 A Systems Dynamics General Model for Supporting Transition to Lean Healthcare Roberto Revetria, University of Genoa, Italy Lean Healthcare, Kaizen and Six Sigma are rapidly transforming healthcare operations from 'new ideas' to a 'way of life.' At the same time, while the concepts of Lean are fairly straightforward, applying the tools to daily work can be counter-intuitive and thus require a credible model to be effectively applied.

  • Nation and Imagination
    CHAPTER 6 Nation and Imagination THIS CHAPTER moves out into three concentric circles. The innermost cir- cle tells the story of a certain literary debate in Bengal in the early part of the twentieth century. This was a debate about distinctions between prose, poetry, and the status of the real in either, and it centered on the writings of Rabindranath Tagore. Into these debatesÐand here is my second cir- cleÐI read a global history of the word ªimagination.º Benedict Ander- son's book Imagined Communities has made us all aware of how crucial the category ªimaginationº is to the analysis of nationalism.1 Yet, com- pared to the idea of community, imagination remains a curiously undis- cussed category in social science writings on nationalism. Anderson warns that the word should not be taken to mean ªfalse.º2 Beyond that, how- ever, its meaning is taken to be self-evident. One aim of this chapter is to open up the word for further interrogation and to make visible the heterogenous practices of seeing we often bring under the jurisdiction of this one European word, ªimagination.º My third and last move in the chapter is to build on this critique of the idea of imagination an argument regarding a nontotalizing conception of the political. To breathe heteroge- neity into the word ªimagination,º I suggest, is to allow for the possibility that the ®eld of the political is constitutively not singular. I begin, then, with the story of a literary debate. NATIONALISM AS WAYS OF SEEING It does not take much effort to see that a photographic realism or a dedi- cated naturalism could never answer all the needs of vision that modern nationalisms create.
