Nicholas Roerich's Himalayan landscapes are grand in scope & colour, yet contemplative & mindful of the role of humans. Born in Russia, Roerich began a journey of spiritual exploration in the Himalayas & settled in India. He believed that beauty & knowledge were crucial ingredients of peace. He proposed an international treaty for preserving cultural treasures, & the Roerich Pact was signed by the nations of the Pan-American Union in 1935. The twelve images in this calendar convey the spiritual goals & sense of mission that guided Roerich's life. Printed with soy-based inks on environmentally sourced paper.
