Malarka dusz: Olga Boznańska

A mysterious loner who spends her days in a dusty studio among the mice she raises with tender care. A penetrating observer, a virtuoso of half-tones and subtle modelling, she chose human faces as the main object of her artistic investigations. It is said that she did not paint the eyes, but the gaze; she did not immortalise man, but his soul.
