Birds and animals

Portraits of famous personalities

Human faces and landscapes

Geometrical patterns

Correct Answer:

Human faces and landscapes

Explanation:

Answer: Human faces and landscapes
Some of Rabindranath Tagore's doodle patterns were turned into human faces and landscapes that floated captivatingly in his poems.

Rabindranath Tagore turned to visual art quite late in life. While writing poems, he would often make patterns out of doodles and developed a unique, calligraphic style out of crossed out words. Some of these were turned into human faces and landscapes, which floated captivatingly in his poems. His palette was limited with black, yellow ochre, reds and browns. However, Rabindranath created a small visual world that was a complete departure from the more elegant and delicate style of the Bengal School, which often drew inspiration from Mughal and Pahari miniatures along with Ajanta frescoes.
