Olga Boznańska (1865–1940) is the most outstanding female painter of the Young Poland period and one of the most famous Polish female artists. She made a name for herself primarily as a portraitist – she immortalised on canvas the contemporary people of culture, science, and politics, such as Henryk Sienkiewicz, Feliks Jasieński and August Radwan, as well as young ladies and children. The artistry of Boznańska’s portrait technique involved using a play of colours and shadows to reflect the mood and character of the painted individual as well as the general atmosphere. Her oeuvre also includes magnificent still lifes, landscapes and interior studies. This album, edited by Urszula Kozakowska-Zaucha and designed by Lech Majewski, presents nearly 200 works by Boznańska from Polish museums and private collections. The reproductions of Girl with Chrysanthemums, Granny’s Name Day, In the Orangery and Japanese Woman are among the best-known paintings she ever created. This is a must-read for all enthusiasts of Polish art.
