The knowledge and advice of the first teacher helped the Brand to create a large number of paintings reflecting the history of the red Army and the heroism of its cavalry. In the early thirties he changed the name to Domashenko one of their dead commanders.
In February 1950, mark N. was sentenced to eight years in the camps according to the article "anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda" .

Several sketches depicted young men in uniform, but their names are unknown. They were written during the war for scrap materials: wrapping paper, cardboard. But maybe someone from gallery visitors finds in them his relatives or friends. No wonder the opening of the exhibition the gallery invited the representatives of the city Council of war veterans.

"Winter morning on the sleigh"... a Snow mound, painted with the sun exciting pink colors, the horse pulling the load... life-Affirming painting at the end of the war, in 1944: a village woman washes in the pool of the linen, and the cloth is permeated with an incredible amount of light.
