Svetoslav Roerich
Being the youngest son of the famous Russian artist, humanist and philosopher Nicholas Roerich, Svetoslav Roerich in childhood showed an interest in art. For thirteen years he wrote the first portrait of his father, and fifteen - helped him with the stage scenery at Covent Garden in London. After a brief stay in London, the family Roerich was invited to America by the Institute of Art in Chicago. In New York, Svyatoslav joined the faculty of architecture at Columbia University, continuing interest in art, believing that "the search for inner peace and fulfillment can come only through sound and creative effort" (Svetoslav Roerich, "Creative thinking, creative thinking: Articles Svetoslav Roerich Moscow 2004, p. 21).
In 1923, before the expedition of the family in India, held the first exhibition of Svyatoslav Roerich Museum in New York gallery Arden. Despite the fact that the journey engendered in him a great interest in Indian culture, Sviatoslav returned to America to complete her education and help organizations, founded by his father. However, over time, the obsession with Eastern culture prevailed and, in 1931, Svyatoslav decided to join his family in India.
At that time, as Nicholas Roerich is known for its striking scenery and theatrical scenery, creativity, Svyatoslav are primarily portraits. Some of his most famous paintings, written in India - the portraits of Indira Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, located in the historical building of the Central Parliament in New Delhi.
Portrait of Nicholas Roerich in Tibetan robe is written in a few years after accession to the family of Svyatoslav in India. Cloth conveys not only his respect for his father, but also emphasizes his unique technique of painting a portrait: the allocation of some parts and leveling of others. Article 1942, Svetoslav wrote that the portraitist must pass "the traits and characteristics accents, which are the most revealing, most worthy of remembering, and either erase or mitigate the features that might distract from the whole" (Svetoslav Roerich, "Portrait Painting, "Creative thought: Articles Svetoslav Roerich, Moscow 2004, p. 81).
The portrait of a Tibetan robe Nicholas Roerich presented not only as the father of the artist, but as a figure that determines its place in the realm of the spiritual world. Svetoslav Roerich describes his father out of time and outside space, using the methods of orthodox iconography, where the prospect of buildings has been turned, where the light source is unclear, and the figure is located centrally on the canvas and dominant. That the elements of painting an icon, the connection with the architecture of the Tibetan temple, a symbol of the flag of peace at his signature and Buddhist symbols that distinguish this portrait of Nicholas Roerich on his other portraits, written by Svyatoslav. In addition, these stylistic additions and exaggerations convey great love and respect for his father Sviatoslav, whom he described as follows:
'Kind and patient, not wasting a minute of his time, stress and balanced in joy, always attentive and attentive to the welfare of his comrades, his personality is an example of "higher man" whose life was an expression of sublime service. When I think of my father, I am filled with inexpressible feeling of love and respect for all that he gave me and continues indefinitely to give '(Svetoslav Roerich, "My Father," Creative Thought: Articles Svetoslav Roerich, Moscow 2004, p. 29 ).
