| | Boznanska, Olga | (Polish, 1865-1940) |
|
| | Olga Boznanska was born in 1865. After many years of training she moved to Munich and became a part of the so-called Munich school of artists. She studied under Jozef Brandt, another important Polish artist of the time, who took an incredibly interest in her.
After three years in Munich, she opened her own studio there. Throughout that time she traveled to France, Switzerland, Vienna, and Berlin and began teaching art to promising students. In 1895 the Berlin journal Bazaar included Boznanska in their twelve women painters in Europe, a very prestigious honor. Her style shows the influences of English artist, James A. Whistler, with sketchy contours, as well as the techniques of the French Impressionists. However, she developed a distinct personal style, whose figures all express the individual psychology of the sitter. Despite her incredible fame as an artist, Olga lived a relatively modest life, never living beyond her means. She spent most of her time alone and most of the final years of her life were spent in her studio. Her paintings can be found in museums in Poland as well as private collections throughout the world.
