Olga Boznańska (1865–1940) was the most outstanding painter of Young Poland and one of the most recognizable Polish artists. She became famous primarily as a portrait painter – she immortalized contemporary figures from the worlds of culture, science, and politics, such as Henryk Sienkiewicz, Feliks Jasieński, and August Radwan, as well as young ladies and children. Boznańska’s artistry in portraiture lay in her ability to use color and shadow to convey the mood and disposition of her subjects and the prevailing atmosphere of the time. The artist’s still lifes, landscapes, and interior studies are also worthy of recognition. This album, compiled by Urszula Kozakowska-Zaucha and designed by Lech Majewski, presents nearly 200 of Boznańska’s works from Polish museums and private collections. The paintings shown in the publication, such as “Girl with Chrysanthemums,” “Grandmother’s Name Day,” “In the Orangery,” and “Japanese Woman,” are just a few of the artist’s most famous works. This is a must-have for all lovers of Polish art.
