Da una feconda collaborazione con la casa editrice Rubbettino e la professoressa Marchianò , insegnante universitaria di Estetica, nasce la prima collana italiana dedicata alle estetiche di Oriente e Occidente (" Saggi brevi di estetica comparata ").
I soggetti delle prime due uscite, both of great interest, could not be further apart, and promises, written by the same Marchianò , "on the direction of thought" we await with some curiosity. The term of
modernism means the movement of China's "new wave", suppressed in 1989 filodemocratrici together with the movements.
In the early eighties , by withdrawing from the government interdiction of aesthetic studies were initiated massive cultural exchanges with the 'West ; not only Hegel, but also Schopenhauer, Nietzsche , Freud, until recently considered "bourgeois counter-revolutionaries", they had found a place in the training of young Chinese intellectuals. As one critic naturalized Australian, Jose Nicolas in 1988 in Beijing "it seemed that every two people, one was an artist, and everyone else who merchant, who a Business for the merchant, who poet. be an artistic statement and the group was an affirmation of freedom (from the Introduction of G. Marchianò , p.. 6).
The "Italian Writings on Rerich " of Bazzarelli , Lopez, Spendel, Zolla make known an original thinker and a Russian artist, who is bitten between painting, philosophy and the esoteric in some ways recalling Gurdjieff, quite rightly known as Grace Marchianò in his post-faction (p. 129).

The climate culture was the same as that produced Madame Blavatsky and Theosophy. The spiritual journey of
Rerich can also be summarized by the story of his relations, in no particular order include those with Vivekananda, Tagore with with Krishnamurti and, of particular interest to our magazine, with the buddhologo Sherbatskij.
In the main body of the book, some color plates are good examples of painting Rerich that Elémire Zolla down sharply: "... ascetic, adamantine, but at the same time hallucinatory intensity "(p.21).
