Why did Avindranath Tagore reject the art of Raja Ravi Verma?
Dear Student,
Raja Ravi Verma was the first artist to give Indian mythology an image through his paintings. His painting was inspired mostly by the European technique. Rabindranath Tagore considered this an imitative art style as he wanted the paintings to be done with more of genuine Indian traditions, not western techniques.
I hope this clears your doubts regarding this topic.
