Proust: Daughter of Swann 1995

"Proust: Daughter of Swann" (1995), by Maria Bozoky, is a vibrant watercolor painting depicting a young woman standing in a garden setting. The artist utilizes a loose, expressive style characterized by bold strokes and washes of color, capturing the impressionistic essence of the scene. The composition features a prominent figure against a backdrop of lush foliage, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The woman's white dress and hat stand out against the vibrant greens, yellows, and pinks of the garden, further emphasizing her presence in the scene. Bozoky's use of color and brushwork effectively conveys a sense of movement and light, evoking a feeling of warmth and tranquility. The artwork's title, "Proust: Daughter of Swann," suggests a connection to Marcel Proust's novel "Remembrance of Things Past," perhaps referencing the novel's themes of memory, love, and the passage of time.
