Anna Bilińska-Bohdanowiczowa was a Polish painter, best known for her intuitive portraits, and the first woman who achieved an international fame. Her works were exhibited across Europe, and the current exhibition in Warsaw presents both her known as well as sometimes unknown works, so far hidden in private collections. Very interesting pioneering artist, she had to overcome many difficulties as a female in the art world, then dominated by males. After studying art at Academie Julian in Paris she decided to open the Parisian style art school for women in Warsaw, unfortunately died young and was never ale to fulfill her dream.
