Never heard of him, had you? Nicholas Roreich was a Russian artist; he designed costumes [1913] for Stravinsky’s Rites of Spring, costumes the Joffrey Ballet revived in its 1987 production.

The Nicholas Roreich Museum is on an idyllic block near the  Columbia University campus, amid a lovely row of sandstone townhouses. 

In this demure 3-storey structure, you will find the art work by the eponymous master. They are truly astounding; they  tap into a deep mysticism and sense of life’s mysteries. Let me show rather than tell: look at the gallery below.
