Summary/Abstract: This article is an interpretation of the work of art entitled Revision – Arrest, painted in 1953. The first part of the text describes research on trauma and class of narrative related to it. Next, the text discusses the influence of the experience of war – and the death of his father – on the development of Wróblewski’s subsequent decisions regarding art, life, and aesthetics. The analysis connects the study of individual aspects of the image with the war-visions of the artist, with the goal of identifying points of correspondence between history and the work.
