About the Item

Artist Name: Barbara Kwasniewska Title: Attente Year: 1969 Medium Type: etching Size-Width Size-Height: 22.5'' x 30" inches Signed Edition Size: Signed, Titled, and Numbered 69/75 Barbabra Kwasniewska was born in 1931 in Varsovia, Poland. She studied painting at the Beaux-Arts Institute of Cracow, Poland. She then moved to Paris where she was married in 1958. Her printmaking studies were under Johnny Friedlaender at his atelier. She obtained Honorable Mention at the Ljubljana, Yugoslavia Biennale in 1961, and her work was selected to be shown at the Second Biennale of Paris. In 1963 she won first prize as a foreign painter, awarded by the Friends of the National Museum of Modern Art, Paris This artwork is a signed, limited-edition etching titled Attente by Barbara Kwasniewska, created in 1969. The composition features abstract, organic forms in a balanced yet dynamic arrangement, divided into two sections. On the left, soft pastel tones of pink, black, and cream shape an abstract figure, while the right side presents a contrasting combination of teal and patterned yellow, forming a silhouette-like structure. The piece exhibits a harmonious interplay between color, texture, and form, with a delicate balance between solid shapes and intricate patterns. The use of muted yet distinct hues and the juxtaposition of fluid and structured elements contribute to the work’s contemplative and modernist aesthetic. Signed and numbered in the lower corners, this etching is part of a limited series (number 69/75), showcasing Kwasniewska’s refined approach to abstraction and minimalism. The title Attente, which translates to “waiting” in French, adds an element of introspection, inviting the viewer to explore themes of presence and anticipation.
