Talk:Nicholas Roerich

message: This site suggests that it was Secretary of Agriculture Wallace who suggested to FDR that the Great Seal be placed on the back of the US One Dollar Bill: [http://www.greatseal.com/levels/fdr1935.html Wallace's letter to Dal Lee, 
February 6, 1951].  Is there a citation to show how it is Roerich's suggestion? — Alex756 17:11, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)

message: The quote from Roerich about invading Russia is dated 1940.  Russia had not been invaded in 1940, as the Pact was still in force. So, when did he say it?
Also, what was Roerich's attitude toward the Nazis in the time of the Pact?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.191.135.66 (talk) 20:30, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

message: It is usual to expand statements that are in the introduction of the article in the body of the article. Since Agni Yoga is mentioned in the introduction, there should be some explanation of the importance of AY in Roerich's life. Malcolm Schosha (talk) 13:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Have added a new quote to clarify Roerich's position and have also noted that the source in question: Moscow & St. Petersburg 1900-1920: Art, Life & Culture by John E. Bowlt, Vendome, 2008 is one of the best refs I've come across in a long time Re: Russian 'silver Age' art and culture. For those interested. Truly inter/multi disciplinary approach bordering on polymathic (not intended as book review purely enthusiastic NPOV). Ernstblumberg (talk) 18:53, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Excellent refs 

message: Really? A previous version of the article states 7000 and even that is a lot of paintings.69.149.72.17 (talk) 23:27, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The first of this article is a disaster of translations from Russian with incorrect tenses and word/phrase associations completely incoherent. Either it needs to be rewritten or retranslated by someone who speaks both English and Russian. There is enough information out there on Nicholas Roerich for an english speaker to tackle this portion of the article again.Iconoclast.Horizon (talk) 02:42, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have restored an earlier neutral and english-language version of the article rather than the absurdly adulatory and incomprehensible google translate cut and paste version. μηδείς (talk) 03:07, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Butchered in Translation  

message: This section reads like Propaganda and violates the NPOV at least: 
"predicting the Russian people’s victory against the fascism."
"When fascist forces occupied extensive Soviet territories, N. Roerich..."
Despite this language, there's no mention of Roerich's relationship with the Soviet Government at the time, for instance, the name "Stalin" appears nowhere in this piece.
:The section was an unreferenced cut and paste from the Russian article and I have removed it as violating copyright as well as being biased and almost incomprehensible. μηδείς (talk) 03:08, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Second World War. Service to Russia 

message: We have categories called Ballets designed by Nicholas Roerich and Ballets by Nikolai Roerich.  When these appear in the same article, such as The Rite of Spring, one could almost be forgiven for thinking these were two different gentlemen.  
As he is virtually always known in the West as Nicholas Roerich, hence our article name, can the Nikolai category be renamed, please?  --  Jack of Oz [Talk] 02:30, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I've uploaded several images of paintings by Roerich from Google Art Project's collections from the International Centre of the Roerichs and Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona (below). The Centre's are all published in 1922 (with three from the «Sancta» Series), the others are earlier. Feel free to use any of them if useful. Dcoetzee 07:00, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
