one of the twelve leading female painters OLGA BOZNAŃSKA she set up her first studio in Munich and she had taken over Teodor Hummels painting school and was teaching full time. The Berlin journal Bazaar named her as one of the twelve leading female painters in Europe. ... her mature works are characterised by shimmering, scumbled brushwork, a lightness of touch, and intense emotional psychology, In her individualistic style Boznanska blocks in the background of her portraits in broad strokes of subdued green, blue, brown and grey, often allowing the body, clothing or hair of her subject to be consumed in the confusion of misty brushstrokes that swirl together behind them. ...tiny brustrokes which seem almost to vibrate in skin tones of pink, yellow and grey. Her best works focus sharply on the expertly painted eyes and facial features of the subject and radiate outwards, becoming more and more messy until the edges of her canvas are populated with splashes of paint and scrubby brushwork. Many of her works have an unfinished appearance and patches of bare cardboard or canvas are allowed to permeate all areas of the painted surface
