The artwork titled “Vignette for book ‘N. K. Roerich'” was created by the artist Nicholas Roerich in the year 1918. Belonging to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement, this piece represents an illustration genre.
The artwork features a circular composition rendered in a monochromatic palette. The elements within the circle are stylized and exhibit an ornamental quality typical of the Art Nouveau movement. The flowing curves and intricate patterns contribute to an elegant and harmonious design. The central motif appears to intertwine organic forms, possibly abstract representations of animals or mythical creatures, which are characteristic of Roerich’s fascination with spirituality and symbolism. The balance of the composition and the rhythmic continuity of the lines engage viewers in exploring its detailed and immersive aesthetic.
