Flowers after 1920

Olga Boznanska made this painting of flowers, and what I notice right away is the way she’s layered the paint, kind of softly, to create this hazy, dreamy atmosphere. It's like she's more interested in the feeling of the flowers than their exact shape. Up close, you can see how the paint is applied in these delicate, almost translucent layers. It’s not about thick, bold strokes, but more about building up color and texture gradually. Look at the vase – it’s not just white, but a whole symphony of grays, blues, and greens blending together. There’s this real sense of light and air, like the flowers are breathing on the canvas. It’s as though she’s channeling Whistler or maybe even a touch of Corot, but with her own very particular sensibility. Ultimately, Boznanska invites us to slow down, to really see the world around us.
