Artists are great people, each is a hero of his time. Thanks to them, humanity learns the world through paintings. Some will tell about beautiful, unexplored corners of the planet, others - about past life events. Each picture is filled with deep meaning and carries a sense of joy, beauty, or sorrow and loss.
Eternal memory on canvas
Painting about the war is the most urgent topic for artists to paint on canvas at all times. The depicted moments, frames, and plots are filled with an enormously deep message. Great creations permeate their sensuality to the depths of the soul.
Pictures are not just images on a canvas. This is a perpetuation of events, inherited by descendants.
The picture about the war
The Great Patriotic War affected every family. This event left a mark not only in the fate of people, but also found its reflection on the canvases of artists of that time.
The longest, cruelest, which claimed many lives - the Great Patriotic War. Paintings of that time became a reflection of the pain of the people. In the 40s, military topics became the main among painters. The artists who participated in the battles subsequently in the name of memory depicted in their paintings the events that took place before their eyes. Many of the paintings were written from the words of veterans, according to the stories of writers, from letters from soldiers.
Description of the artwork “Blockade of Leningrad”
One of the most difficult events during the Great Patriotic War was the blockade of Leningrad. The picture about the war of O. Lomakin during the siege of the city describes the heroism of the townspeople. On empty, crushed streets, women, children and the elderly stubbornly held their defenses, put up with hardships, supported each other, shared the last piece of bread.
In memory of the Great Patriotic War
In 2015, 70 years have passed since the Great Victory. By this day, exhibitions have been organized in various educational institutions under the slogan "A picture about the war." They were attended by young talents who portrayed the war in terms of their understanding. Summing up the exhibition, we can say that the pictures of schoolchildren, of course, are far from masterpieces, but they are not meaningless, which means that the younger generation values the memory of their ancestors, and that the soldiers gave their lives for nothing in vain for their freedom.
There are many stories of creating paintings about the Great Patriotic War. Each work of art was created in different circumstances, by different people, but all of them are united by one message. Each of them depicts the sorrows of loss, tears, the severity of the burden. But, in spite of everything, the Russian people through unbearable pain, gritting their teeth, believe in victory and go to it with a proudly raised head.
