Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947) who moved to India in 1936 expressed a sense of freedom through the imagery of nature's vastness juxtaposed with the solitariness of the human. Enchanted by the Himalayas, Roerich painted them not only to show their physical grandeur but as a symbolist to unravel the mountain's soul. Interwoven in his artistic visions are his philosophies on life.
