The Peace Pilgrim Pictures: Nicholas Roerich

The Peace Pilgrim Pictures is the sixth book collaboration of F. Gard Jameson and Dana C. White, both alumni of Pacifica’s Mythological Studies program. Published by Copper Cauldron, this book introduces readers to Nicholas Roerich, an early 20th century artist, mystic and influential political figure who after leaving Russia, emigrated to England, traveled to India, and settled in New York, where he constructed an amazing multi-story multi-purpose facility that served as home, studio, and gathering center for arts, students of the spiritual and cosmological exploration, and world politics. Three times nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, Roerich was a principal in redesigning the US One-Dollar bill to include the pyramid and the all-seeing eye of the Freemasons. The three spheres on Roerich’s Banner of Peace symbolize science, art, and truth, beauty, and goodness. This publication takes the ten stages of the 12th century Ox-Herding pictures as a basis upon which to develop a meditative relationship with the art of Nicholas Roerich.
