About Sea

The artwork titled “Sea,” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1919, is a sketch and study piece belonging to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. The artwork, which exemplifies Roerich’s distinctive style, captures the essence of the sea through its meticulous and evocative drawing.

In the artwork, the scene is depicted using graphite on paper, showing dynamic and swirling forms suggestive of sea waves. The artist employs rhythmic lines and curves to convey the motion and energy of the ocean. The sketch is spare yet detailed, implying both tranquility and force within the stylized portrayal of the waves. The minimalistic approach lends a sense of vastness and movement, characteristic of the subject matter, while maintaining a refined aesthetic that aligns with the principles of the Art Nouveau movement.
