With all the chaos in the world, we need a bit of hope, a bit of remembrance that life is not always a series of catastrophes, even when it appears to be that way.

A young female Soviet soldier views her reflection in a circular mirror to reimagine a moment of deep introspection regarding one's profession and role in society in 1941 Moscow during the Second World War. We can guess from her gaze that, as a servant to her nation's military force, sheβs leaving, possibly never to come back. Just one last long look in the mirror ... and then away. Itβs heartbreaking and inspirational ... and I am left wondering what happened to her. The woman, rumored to be one of the artist's daughters, wears a light greyish-beige uniform, a light-colored cap, and has a wood rifle slung over her shoulder. Her back is to us as she touches the wall with her grimy left hand, closely gazing at her reflection.Β Her expression is not direct, but her posture suggests a momentary stance of integrity with a sense of unhappiness. Her youthful beauty looks back in an austere room with muted greyish-blue walls and a large dark circular piece of equipment connected by thin wires to a small, light-colored button near the bottom left. A window in the reflection, reveals a glimpse of an urban cityscape outside. The windowpanes have several diagonal strips of masking tape across them, suggesting damage or a makeshift reinforcement. The cityscape seen beyond appears cold and wintry. Soviet artist Geliy "Geli" Mikhailovich Korzhev-Chuvelyov is hailed as a "painter of Russian grief." He studied at the Moscow State Art School from 1939 to 1944 and then at the Moscow State Art Institute until 1950. Korzhev entered the Soviet art scene at a time when the U.S.S.R. was recovering from World War II, and bidding farewell to Stalinβs grim legacy. A son of his era, Korzhev defined his style as βsocial realismβ to eliminate the propagandistic posture, artificiality, and reality-bending politics of Stalinist-era art. His striking canvases focus on the common people, in an attempt to cleanse the varnish of propaganda and remind us of the "true" socialism, as he envisioned it.

Mosaics in urban space: once tools of socialist propaganda, now reinterpreted as communicative, architectural, and artistic media. A case study of Bieniekβs mosaic highlights their social, aesthetic, and historical valueβeven after destruction.
