What better tribute to a painter than a book with a collection of his paintings! Nicholas Roerich, for whom Mother India was as beloved as his Mother Russia, was one of the most talented artists of the 20th century. India was his spiritual home and the Himalayas his lifelong commitment, even obsession. Over the years, he undertook a series of remarkable and daring Himalayan expeditions in India, Tibet and Mangolia, and this resulted in a large number of extraordinary paintings of the Himalayas and the trans-Himalayan regions.
The book brings together scholarly contributions from a number of people from different disciplines and presents the multi-faceted personality of Nicholas Roerich. The books comes alive with beautiful pictures from his life and of course his wonderful paintings. It’s a tribute to the painter-cum-philosopher who will always be a revered artist for time immemorial.
