Roerichism

Roerichism is a spiritual and cultural movement started by Russian artist Nicholai Roerich in the early 1900s. The main idea of Roerichism is that art, music, and culture can enlighten and uplift people, as well as protect them from spiritual, emotional and physical harm. Roerichism also emphasizes education, peace, and preserving the planet's cultural and natural resources. Roerich believed art should serve as a bridge between different cultures and continents. He created many paintings, books, and other works all over the world that promote his teachings of peace and understanding. Roerichism is still alive today and has inspired many people to be aware of the power that art and culture can have in promoting good in the world.
