RIilke: The Sonnets to Orpheus 1994

"RIilke: The Sonnets to Orpheus" is a watercolor painting created in 1994 by Hungarian artist Maria Bozoky, known for her expressive abstract works. The painting depicts a woman in a white dress, her face obscured, standing before a dark background with a hint of blue. The woman’s dress appears to be made of layered brushstrokes, a signature technique of Bozoky, adding a sense of depth and movement to the piece. The artwork draws inspiration from Rainer Maria Rilke’s "Sonnets to Orpheus," exploring themes of love, loss, and the beauty of the ephemeral.
