Painting by Vatolina “News from the front”


The picture of Nina Nikolaevna Vatolina “News from the front”, written in 1943, reminds us more of a household photo, although if the picture is made from the point of view of the artistry of the composition, geometric and light-spectral projections, and also the semantic plot component, then a full work of art is obtained.

What is this message, to say unequivocally, hoping only for an analytical interpretation of what is seen – it is difficult. However, we can clearly know that the war has not yet been completed at that moment, as described by the artist, but at the same time, the letter sheds clear light on the situation from the front. All participants of the picture are focused at one point – this is news. And the purpose of this picture is not so much the delivery of the content of the letter, but rather the reflection of that concentration, which concentrates the consciousness of all people on the events taking place in the country.

Such moments are very important for maintaining the general course of events. When people, connected together by blood relationship like this – together, the whole family gather in a circle and devote themselves wholly, with full dedication to the flow of unidirectional attention focused on the main for all process – only in such circumstances the power of thought becomes so strong and great that an ordinary prayer or a simple request to the Almighty can drastically change the course of human history in one second. And great wars are won, at the expense of that energy network of spiritual kinship that is built between those who are at the front lines and people in the rear.

This is a very useful picture, it describes the process of internal, heavy mental work, the result of such actions was a victorious volley that flew over our homeland on May 9, far in 1945!
