The Ups and Downs of Anna Bilińska-Bohdanowicz
Anna Bilińska-Bohdanowicz (1857-1893) traveled from her native Polish to Paris to reach her dream of becoming a portrait painter.
Self portrait by Anna Bilińska-Bohdanowicz |
After years of hard work she started winning competitions and getting her work exhibited at the Salon and the Royal Academy. She won second place in a competition sponsored by the Académie Julian, where she hoped to study. But she faced serious setbacks.
"She didn't have much money and her living conditions were poor in spite of the fact that she supported herself teaching music and drawing. On occasion she would find clients for her paintings, but they did not fetch much at the time. The death of her father in 1884 left her without a livelihood. It was then that Rodolphe Julian helped the young artist by exempting her from study fees and by hiring her as the leader of one of his workshops."

"She spent a few months under the care of her friend, the painter Maria Gażycz. In 1892 in Paris she married Antoni Bohdanowicz, who was a doctor. They both returned to Warsaw the same year. Bilińska intended to open a painting school for women in the capitol of Poland, which would have mimicked the practices of the Parisian academies. However the project was stopped short when the artist fell ill with a heart condition, which led to her untimely death."
