The review concerns two catalogues accompanying the exhibition: Olga Boznańska (1865–1940), organized by the National Museum in Kraków (October 2014 – February 2015) and the National Museum in Warsaw (February – May 2015). The curators and editors of the Kraków edition were Ewa Bobrowska and Urszula Kozakowska-Zaucha and of the Warsaw edition was Renata Higersberger. Both publications are wide, systematic and complex elaborations of Boznańska’s work, seen from different perspectives. The Polish painter is regarded in the European context, in dialogue with various artists and artistic environments. Her paintings correspond with the works of James Whistler, Édouard Manet, Édouard Vuillard and Velázquez, admired by her contemporaries. Boznańska, born in Kraków, educated in Munich and spending most of her life in Paris, was an exponent of many modernist trends, aesthetic and literary conventions of the end of the 19th century, like japonism, impressionism, nabism, symbolism and intimism. The curators and authors of the catalogue, historians of art and conservators, managed to present in a series of impressive essays the complexity of her work, the formal, technical and technological secrets of her workshop, the legend of her studios or photographic self-creations.
