"Russian-born artist Nicholas Roerich"

@nchavotier

"This may be the most jam-packed, one-man museum in New York City. And it's filled with works by an artist you've probably never heard of, which is exactly why it's so captivating. Find your way to the far end of West 107th Street, which is perched on a hill above Riverside Drive. Lined with swoon-worthy Beaux Arts townhomes, the neighborhood feels more like a European village. There's a faded plaque at number 319. Push open the arched, wooden doorway, and you've arrived. Born in Russia, but painting mostly in the Himalayas, mystical artist Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947) created paintings that sell for millions of dollars today. But even on this very street, many New Yorkers don't know his work. Climb the wooden stairway to the second floor, with its stained-glass windows and ornate fireplaces. Though the space is sparsely furnished, it is filled with vivid paintings that astound - two entire floors, room after room, one painting on top of another. You are immersed in the brightly colored world of the master. Steely blue mountains. Winding paths to infinity. Night skies. This museum is a utopian, painterly place that transports you to another realm. "The works are especially bright because he painted in tempera," gallery assistant Katrina Dessavre says. "It dried more quickly, and he liked that the pigment would fade over time." Roerich painted 7,000 works, and some 200 are here. But he was also a poet, philos-opher, and peace activist, a costume and set designer, and political advisor. A planet was named after him. And he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1929 for his efforts to protect works of art during the war. All that, and still Americans don't know him. We see a self-portrait of the artist, long white beard, lost in thought. You wonder what he would have made of this little museum hidden on a quiet street, keeping his legacy alive."
