In a picture the artist creates the language of undoubted reality, we are satisfied that we see. It may not be the representation of a beautiful woman but that of a common place donkey or of something that has no external credential of truth in nature but only in its own inner artistic significance. People often ask me about the meaning of my pictures. I remain silent even as my pictures are. It is for them to “express” out not to ‘explain’. They have nothing ulterior behind their own appearance for the thoughts to explore and words to describe and if that appearance carries its ultimate worth then they remain, otherwise they are rejected and forgotten even though they may have some scientific truth or ethical justification.
Rabindranath Tagore
