In 1926, he achieved great success having won the Grand Prix at the exhibition dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Philadelphia. Art critics said that the talent of Svetoslav Roerich had flowered all at once. Living in India for many years he penetrated into the spirit of the great Indian people. That is why, on the background of the modern world art Svetoslav Roerich is still an original and bright painter.
