Proust: Duchesse de Guermantes in a Park 1993

"Proust: Duchesse de Guermantes in a Park" is a watercolor painting by Maria Bozoky, a Hungarian artist known for her expressive use of color and line. This 1993 work features a solitary figure standing amidst a vibrant cluster of red flowers, likely inspired by Marcel Proust's novel *Remembrance of Things Past*. The painting's loose brushstrokes and ethereal palette evoke a sense of fleeting moments and the subtle beauty of everyday life, characteristic of Bozoky's style. The background, a blurred depiction of a house and foliage, further emphasizes the intimacy of the scene. The painting's title suggests a connection to Proust's fictional world, hinting at the themes of memory, nostalgia, and the power of the past.
