Gaganendranath Tagore

'Such a sensitive mind as Gaganendranath's I had indeed rarely met with, for his mind ranged over every field of culture. Each subject touched on brought from him some quiet comment. Showing an unfailing critical discernment. In his own paintings I observed a similar sensitiveness. He had a beautiful touch…a refinement of insight which gave quality to all his handiwork.'

The above quotation from an obituary by Rothenstein is much more than a conventional tribute. It is a critical judgment comprehending the work and the personality of Gaganendranath Tagore. Gaganendranath was an epitome of what Rabindranath used to describe as an ideal of completeness of life. There was no compartmentalization in his artistic make-up. Whatever aspect of life he touched upon, he gave it an artistic orientation. An aristocrat of the spirit, he would perhaps have been most at home in the Florence of the Medicis. That does not mean, however, that he was out of step with the life and manners of his own times.

Gaganendranath was born in 1867, the eldest son of Rabindranath's cousin, Gunendranath. Lest there be some confusion as to the inter-relationship among the better-known. Of the Tagores, appended is a selective list of names from the genealogical tree of the family.
