The grand opening of the exhibition "Belarus liberated: the commandment of 1944", dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Belarus from the Nazi invaders, took place on February 14 in the Rakurs gallery.
The Great Patriotic War is one of the most tragic pages in the history of Belarus. Three years of occupation and heavy fighting, which swept through the country twice, in 1941 and 1944, claimed about two million lives and left a deep imprint on the national consciousness.
For Belarusian artists, the military theme has become one of the central themes in the visual arts of the post-war decades. The exhibition presents works from different years: the earliest of them were created during the war years. The work of several generations of artists is open to the audience, each of whom brought their own worldview, their own understanding, and their own experience to the military theme.
The exhibition "Belarus liberated: the commandment of 1944" provides an opportunity to get acquainted with iconic works from the collection of the National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus. To see the genre diversity of works on military subjects and the multiplicity of ways of interpreting military themes in fine art, to trace how the pictorial language changed from narrative in the works of the military and the first post-war years to more complex, philosophical readings of the last decades of the twentieth century.
Organizers: The Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Belarus, the National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus, the National Library of Belarus.
The exhibition will run until February 25th.
