Nice painting, very well painted. The childs expressions on their faces.
Did she paint her own children or children of a friend.
It is a romantic 19th century way of painting, a good painting century.
I hope to learn more about Polish art in the near future.
Here in the West art history is very Western-centric.
The only art of the East I learned about was the Russian art.
That I know a tiny little bit about Polish art is because of my autodidact
interest in it and because my parents bought wonderful Modern
grafic art in Pozñan. I learned a lot on the two Polish Forums you
were active Jaga, especially from your and Adams contributions.
Do you have more images and maybe some information on this
artist or other artists. The Polish artists I know now are Tadeusz Kantor,
Nikifor (whose work I love very much) and Bruno Schulz (via Adam).

I have seen Olga B. compared with Mary Cassatt. I like paintings by both of them.

forza, a cabinet of oddities indeed - some very cool stuff at that site.
We need a subfolder or sticky post just for these artlinks. Let's ask Pieter ...

I'd like to place this link somewhere for any artlovers among us. Many polish names there, too. artlinks.cabinodd.com/This link looks to me a a portal to Magic realist art or Post Modern Surealism? People who stepped in the footsteps of Dali, Magritte, Martin Saudek and Willink. It is a special sort of art. You like it or you don't. Realism or geomertrical abstract art is more my taste. |

Poppyfield was right it was Olga Boznanska Boznanska is sometimes called 'the paintress of sad children'... We have lately have had a very good exhibition of Boznañska's works here in Warszawa, at Zacheta: www.zacheta.art.pl/index.php?homepage=1&lang=2 |

Oui, ces't un peu tristesse, mais tres delicate et raffiné. That's all I won't to say in french, because my french grammar is very bad to my great shame.
Unfortunately my German is better than my french, while I come from a Francophone family, or better a mix of Francophone and Anflophile family, with Polish, Rusian and Italian elelements in that. I just think that one of the few benefits of being a North-Western-European is that you can be multi-lingual if you want to, and I love to have British, French and German television on my chanal. That's why I find it sad that I wasn't raised bilingual, Duch-Polish, because children easily learn to speak two languages. Children learn while playing, communicating in their natural way, and many people who are multi-lingual are that because they heard differant languages in their childhood.
Back to the subject, often sad scenes in paintings, portraying suffering, longing, greef, sadness are the most beautiful or of great significance in human mankind. The sculpture of the child with a German helmet with the Polish flag on it in Warsaw, remembering the Warsaw uprising is an example of that. But also the photographs of Anne Frank, and the acquarels of Charlotte Salomon.

Maybe it is nice for the Forum members to see this interesting topic from Jaga ( Jan 4, 2006 ) again!
