Sri Aurobindo denounced Ravi Varma for his preoccupation with the external world

Portrait of an artist GOWRI RAMNARAYAN The Hindu July 9, 2010 Art historian Rupika Chawla's book on Raja Ravi Varma is a story lit by colonial pageantry, nationalist colourscape, and modern enterprise
The oleographs had brought him extensive press coverage and stardom. But after the revivalist Swadeshi Movement (1907) his methods (western academic realism) and materials (oil paint) tarred him as an anti-nationalist. Sri Aurobindo denounced Ravi Varma for his preoccupation with the external world, excluding the inward, the subtle, and the spiritual. Ananda Coomaraswamy spurned him for superficial imitations of European styles, and “Victorian” versions of gods and goddesses.
