Untitled (after Jean-Antoine Watteau), 2015
Drawing made with pencil on paper from 2015, signed and described on the back by the artist as an untitled work, inspired by Jean-Antoine Watteau's 'Spring' (lost painting). The work showcases a characteristic dialogue of Ewa Juszkiewicz with the art of old masters, with a feminist emphasis on reinterpretation and deconstruction of traditional portrait canons by removing the face and replacing it with an expressive element.

Internal Narrative and Creative Framework

Inner Narrative
The work engages in a dialogue with classical portrait art, drawing attention to the loss and transformation of identity by hiding the face in a new, surreal context, thereby criticizing traditional canons of beauty and the role of women in art.
The key to interpreting the work
The painting should be interpreted as part of a feminist, artistic dialogue with art history, showing the conflict between the schematic vision of the woman and her individuality.Auction information
