Baroque and Gothic 1994

Maria Bozoky's 1994 watercolor, *Baroque and Gothic*, depicts a woman in a black coat and hat, with a red sash. She stands in front of a background that suggests a cityscape, with an architectural element that evokes both Baroque and Gothic styles. Bozoky's expressive lines, suggestive of a city setting, and loose brushstrokes create an atmospheric and moody feel. The painting's subject, the woman in the architectural setting, may suggest a sense of solitude and contemplation, a theme that pervades much of Bozoky's work.
