Olga Boznańska needs no introduction.
She was one of Europe’s leading female
painters, who managed to create her
own, unique style, and entirely devoted
her life to art. Born in Kraków, she spent
a long time wandering the world, finally
settling in 1898 in the capital of art – Paris.
Boznańska was a child of her epoch. Her
avant-garde view of the world and society
was a perfect match for Paris’ Fin de siècle
atmosphere and let her spread her wings.
She was undoubtedly the greatest woman
painter of her day.

This portrait by Angelika Kuźniak is less
a biography than a compelling tale of
the life of a unique woman. Scandalous,
charismatic, and bold, she knew how to
stand up for her rights. Boznańska wrote
in a letter: “Painting is my happiness,
I long for no other, and when I will be
unable to paint I should end my life”. We
see the same passion in her biographer.
