पिकासो,...... पाब्लो पिकासो (1882-1973) स्पेन के महान चित्रकार थे। वे बीसवीं शताब्दी के सबसे अधिक चर्चित, विवादास्पद और समृद्ध कलाकार थे। उन्होंने तीक्ष्ण रेखाओं का प्रयोग करके घनवाद को जन्म दिया। पिकासो की कलाकृतियां मानव वेदना का जीवित दस्तावेज हैं।
पिकासो की ऊर्जा और कल्पनाशीलता अथक और अपरंपार थी- इतनी विपुल, इतनी प्रयोगधर्मी, इतनी ऊर्जस्वित, इतनी अदम्य कि आश्चर्य होता है कि एक अकेले कलाकार ने कैसे यह संभव किया. इस एहसास से बचा नहीं जा सकता कि पिकासो में मानवीय-दैवीय-दैत्य सभी शक्तियों की त्रिवेणी थी. उनका कहना था कि ‘रेखांकन कोई मज़ाक नहीं है. यह एक बहुत गंभीर और रहस्यमय तथ्य है कि एक सीधी-सादी रेखा एक जीवित प्राणी का प्रतिनिधित्व कर सकती है. न सिर्फ़ उसका बिंब बल्कि, उससे कहीं अधिक, वह जो सचमुच में है.’ प्रेमिकाओं, मॉडल्स, दिगंबराओं, मिथकीय पशुओं, घोड़ों, सांड़ों, मिनोटोर से लेकर नटों, अपोलोनेयर जैसे कविमित्र के लिए, बाल्ज़ाक और ओविड की साहित्यिक कृतियों के लिए अलंकरण, कई कविताओं और रेखांकन की नोटबुक्स, एदुआर माने की कलाकृति ‘घास पर दोपहर का भोजन’ कलाकृति पर कई रेखांकन आदि की विपुलता चकित करती है. रेखा पिकासो के यहां चलती-भटकती-बिलमती-दौड़ी-हांफती-रोती-गाती- हंसती-थकती- सुस्ताती-ऊपर-नीचे जाती-ठहरती-अटकती-लटकती-मुक्त होती है: वह लगभग सब कुछ है, सब कुछ हो सकती है.
रोथको
रोथको के साथ एक बिल्कुल भिन्न कलासंसार में जाना है. उनके यहां कला गहन विचार, सतत चिंतन और बहुत ठहराव से उपजती है. वह कुछ गहरा और अप्रत्याशित देखती-दिखाती है पर कुछ कहने से अपने को रोकती है. यहां कला ही जीवन है. उन्होंने कहा था कि ‘वे चित्रकार इसलिए बने कि वे चित्रकला का संगीत और कविता जैसी मार्मिकता के स्तर पर उन्नयन करना चाहते थे’.
दिलचस्प यह है कि रोथको ने बुनियादी मानवीय भावों को, जिन्हें हम भारतीय कला-चिंतन में स्थायी भाव कहते हैं, अमूर्तन के माध्यम से व्यक्त करने की चेष्टा की. सीधे कुछ कहे बग़ैर रोथको इतना कुछ कह पाते हैं. उनमें मानवीय चेष्टा और संभावना, मानवीय आकांक्षा और विडंबना बहुत सघन रूप से विन्यस्त है. ये सिर्फ़ कलाकृतियां नहीं है- वे जीवनकृतियां हैं. वे सचाई में कुछ नया, अकनीय, अपूर्वानुमेय, अप्रत्याशित जोड़ती हैं. यहां कला जीवन का विस्तार है, उसका इज़ाफ़ा है. लगता है कि जैसे इस कला-वृद्धि से जीवन कुछ अधिक जीवन हो गया जैसे कला कुछ अधिक कला हो गई.
रोथको के चित्रों ने रज़ा को प्रभावित किया था. कुछ कलामर्मज्ञ उनके रंगबोध में कुछ समानताएं भी पाते हैं. रंगों के बड़े-बड़े आयत, वर्ग और चकत्ते इतने ठोस लगते हैं कि उनसे दर्शक आक्रांत हुए बिना नहीं रह सकते. कई सीमित स्पेसों में भी रोथको ने चित्र बनाए और उनको उनसे भर सा दिया है. उनके यहां सिर्फ़ रंग बोलते हैं मानो कि आकारों को भी कुछ कहने की अनुमति नहीं है: उनका काम है रंगों को पर्याप्त जगह देना ताकि वे बोल सकें. यहां संसार रंगसंसार है. रज़ा में रंगक्षोभ नोटिस किया था: उसका पूरा वितान रोथको के यहां है. रोथको के यहां हिंसा या क्षोभ दिखते नहीं है पर वे अंतःसलिल हैं यह वे आग्रह करते हैं. इतने निरंतर सक्रिय और गहरे रंगबोध के बावजूद उनका कहना था कि उनकी रंगों में कोई रुचि नहीं हैं- वे रोशनी तलाश करते हैं.
अशोक वाजपयी
अक्षर हैं पर उनमें शब्द में समाहित होने की इच्छा नहीं है;
चिह्न हैं पर वे किसी आकार में घट जाने की प्रतीक्षा में नहीं हैं;
कुछ छूटा हुआ है पर वह फिर से किसी का हिस्सा नहीं बनना चाहता,
कुछ ज़ाहिर तो हो रहा है पर वह कुछ कहना नहीं चाहता है.
बाहर उजाले की दरारें हैं,
अंदर अंधेरे की सुरगें हैं,
हमारे वितान में उजाले-अंधेरे बुने हुए हैं,
हम दिगंबर नहीं हैं, हम छायाओं में लिपटे हुए हैं.
मनीष पुष्कले, मनजीत बावा, अकबर पद्मसी, कृष्ण खन्ना आदि के चित्र ........

Vincent van Gogh The Letters (vangoghletters.org)
Vincent van Gogh, the Dutch post-impressionist painter, wrote to his brother Theo in a letter dated 3rd July 1888, “I should like to paint portraits which appear after a century to people living then as apparitions. By which I mean that I do not endeavor to achieve this through photographic resemblance, but my means of our impassioned emotions - that is to say using our knowledge and our modern taste for color as a means of arriving at the expression and the intensification of the character.” 1
In another letter to his brother Theo dated 21st July 1882, Vincent van Gogh wrote, “Lovely and marketable are terrible words for me. If someone called me a businessman, it would be an insult.” 2
These quotes reflect Vincent van Gogh’s passion for art and his desire to create something that would stand the test of time. He was not interested in creating art that was merely “lovely and marketable,” but rather art that would be remembered and appreciated for generations to come.

Post-Impressionism is an art movement that emerged in France between 1886 and 1905, which was a reaction against Impressionism’s focus on naturalistic depiction of light and color. The movement’s principal artists were Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Georges Seurat1. Post-Impressionists extended Impressionism while rejecting its limitations. They continued using vivid colors, sometimes using impasto (thick application of paint) and painting from life, but were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, distort form for expressive effect, and use unnatural or modified color1.
In summary, Post-Impressionism encompasses a wide range of distinct artistic styles that all share the common motivation of responding to the opticality of the Impressionist movement2.

Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement that originated in France. It is characterized by relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, unusual visual angles, and inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience 1. The movement’s principal artists were Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Georges Seurat 1. Impressionists extended Impressionism while rejecting its limitations. They continued using vivid colors, sometimes using impasto (thick application of paint) and painting from life, but were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, distort form for expressive effect, and use unnatural or modified color 1.
In summary, Impressionism is an art movement that sought to capture the momentary and transient effects of sunlight by painting outdoors or en plein air. It portrayed overall visual effects instead of details and used short “broken” brush strokes of mixed and pure unmixed color to achieve an effect of intense color vibration 1.

Impressionism and Post-Impressionism are two art movements that emerged in France in the late 19th century. While Impressionism focused on the depiction of light and color, Post-Impressionism was a reaction against Impressionism’s limitations and sought to extend it by emphasizing geometric forms, expressive distortion of form, and unnatural or modified color 123.
The main differences between Impressionism and Post-Impressionism are as follows:
Subject matter: Impressionists painted everyday life scenes, landscapes, and cityscapes, while Post-Impressionists painted a wider range of subjects, including portraits, still lifes, and landscapes 1.
Color: Impressionists used pure unmixed colors to achieve an effect of intense color vibration, while Post-Impressionists used more vivid colors that were sometimes more unnatural or modified 12.
Form: Impressionists emphasized overall visual effects instead of details and used short “broken” brush strokes to achieve an effect of intense color vibration. Post-Impressionists used forms that were based on geometric shapes and patterns, as well as distorted form for expressive effect 12.
Style: Impressionists sought to capture the momentary and transient effects of sunlight by painting outdoors or en plein air. Post-Impressionists were more interested in subjective interpretation of reality and sought to create art that would stand the test of time 12.
In summary, while both movements shared some similarities in terms of subject matter and technique, Post-Impressionism was a more diverse movement that encompassed a wider range of styles and approaches than Impressionism. It was characterized by a greater emphasis on the artist’s subjective interpretation of reality, a heightened use of color and form, and a departure from the strict adherence to naturalistic representation 23.

♈♈♈♈♈♈♈♈♈♈♈♈♈♈"We Are Building God": Rainer Maria Rilke on the Divine
♈Echoes of the vacillating heart ..Rainer Maria Rilke
Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet is a collection of ten letters that he wrote to Franz Xaver Kappus, a 19-year-old officer cadet at the Theresian Military Academy in Wiener Neustadt 1. The letters were written between 1902 and 1908 and were published in 1929, three years after Rilke’s death from leukemia 1. The letters offer insight into the ideas and themes that appear in Rilke’s poetry and his working process. In the first letter, Rilke respectfully declines to review or criticize Kappus’ poetry, advising the younger Kappus that “Nobody can advise you and help you, nobody. There is only one way. Go into yourself” 1. Over the course of the ten letters, Rilke proceeds to advise Kappus on how a poet should feel, love, and seek truth in trying to understand and experience the world around him and engage the world of art 1.

Rainer Maria Rilke’s Sonnets to Orpheus is a collection of 55 sonnets that he wrote in a period of three weeks in February 1922 1. The sonnets are considered some of the most important works of German literature in the early 20th century 1.
The sonnets are inspired by the Greek myth of Orpheus, a legendary musician and poet who was said to have the power to charm all living things with his music 2. To Rilke, Orpheus symbolized the poet’s ability of self-transcendence and his song, pure transcendence 3. Through creative activity, the poet transforms the visible into the invisible, from experience into inwardness, a true state of awareness, and thus escapes an unworthy, rejected self and achieves perfection 3.
The sonnets are divided into two parts. The first part consists of 26 sonnets that explore the themes of death, transience, and renewal 1. The second part consists of 29 sonnets that focus on the idea of transformation and rebirth 1. The overall tone of the sonnets is positive and life-affirming 2.

Rainer Maria Rilke: The Purpose of Life
Same way, the letters of Rabindranath Tagore, Abanindranath Tagore, Nandlal Bose, Vinod Bihari Mukherjee and Sarat Chandra Chatterjee
are indeed works of art. They are not only valuable for their historical insights, but also for their beauty, originality, and creativity.
These letters are often visually stunning, with elaborate calligraphy, drawings, and sketches. They are also full of poetic language and philosophical insights. In short, they are works of art in their own right.
In addition to their aesthetic value, these letters are also important historical documents. They provide a glimpse into the minds of some of the most important figures in the Bengal Renaissance, a period of great cultural and artistic ferment in India.
The letters reveal the close relationships between these artists, and their shared commitment to creating a new Indian art that was both rooted in tradition and modern in its outlook. They also document the challenges and triumphs that these artists faced as they tried to create a new visual language for India.
The letters of these artists are a valuable resource for anyone interested in Indian art, culture, and history. They are also a source of inspiration for artists and writers alike.
Here are some specific examples of the artistic qualities of these letters:
Rabindranath Tagore's letters are often written in a flowing, lyrical style, with beautiful imagery and metaphors.
Abanindranath Tagore's letters are often illustrated with his own drawings and sketches, which are often whimsical and playful.
Nandlal Bose's letters are often written in a simple, direct style, but they are also full of insights into his artistic philosophy.
Vinod Bihari Mukherjee's letters are often experimental and innovative, both in terms of their form and content.
Together, these letters offer a unique and fascinating glimpse into the minds of four of the most important figures in Indian art. They are also a testament to the power of art to transcend time and space.♈♈
I agree that many letters of Rabindranath Tagore, Abanindranath Tagore, Nandlal Bose, and Vinod Bihari Mukherjee can be considered art objects. These letters are not only valuable for their historical significance, but they are also beautifully written and visually appealing.
One of the things that makes these letters so special is the way in which the writers use language. They carefully choose their words and phrases to create vivid and evocative images. For example, in a letter to his friend Abanindranath Tagore, Rabindranath Tagore writes:
"The morning air is full of the scent of flowers, and the birds are singing in the trees. I am sitting in my garden, surrounded by beauty. The sun is shining brightly, and the sky is a clear blue. I feel so peaceful and content."
This passage is beautifully written, and it transports the reader to Tagore's garden. It is also a testament to Tagore's skill as a writer. He is able to evoke strong emotions in the reader using only words.
Another thing that makes these letters so special is the way in which the writers use visual elements. They often include drawings and sketches in their letters, and they sometimes even write their letters on colorful paper. This adds to the beauty and uniqueness of the letters.
For example, in a letter to his friend Nandlal Bose, Rabindranath Tagore includes a sketch of a bird. The sketch is simple, but it is beautifully drawn. Tagore also writes the letter on yellow paper, which adds to the overall visual appeal of the letter.
These letters are more than just historical documents. They are also works of art. The writers use language and visual elements to create beautiful and evocative letters that transport the reader to another time and place.
I am glad that you brought these letters to my attention. I will definitely try to find some of them so that I can see them for myself.♈♈♈
Yes, many letters of Rabindranath Tagore, Abanindranath Tagore, Nandlal Bose, Vinod Bihari Mukherjee, and other artists of the Bengal School are considered to be art objects in their own right. These letters are often written in a calligraphic style, with intricate designs and illustrations. The artists would also use a variety of materials, such as ink, watercolor, and gouache, to create their letters.

"ठाकुरबाड़ी में और उससे जुड़े बहुत से कलाकार आदि थे. इन सभी के पत्र अपने मूल में देखने का दूसरी प्रदर्शनी बिरला अवसर देती है. कई पत्र रवींद्रनाथ, अवनींद्रनाथ, नंदलाल बोस, विनोद बिहारी मुखर्जी आदि के इस तरह लिखे गए हैं कि उन्हें कला-वस्तु मानने में कोई संकोच नहीं हो सकता. ये पत्र एक पूरे दौर का, जिसमें बंगाल में एक बड़ा कला-आंदोलन आकार ग्रहण कर रहा था, निजी इतिहास जैसे है. गैर कलाकारों में महात्मा गांधी और सुभाषचंद्र बोस के पत्र हैं.
याद आता है कि ग़ालिब के पत्र उर्दू में श्रेष्ठ गद्य का नमूना माने जाते हैं और रिल्के के पत्रों के आधार पर जीवन जीने की एक पूरी संहिता तक विन्यस्त की गई है. विसेंट वान गॉग ने अपने भाई थियो को पत्र में लिखा था कि 'प्रीतिकर और बेचने योग्य मेरे लिए बहुत भयानक शब्द हैं' ......."
