Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, also known as Witkacy (1885–1939), was not only a painter but also a philosopher, writer, playwright, art theoretician, photographer. He mastered each of the fields and surprised everyone in all of them. As a painter, he created both traditional landscapes and portraits, and expressionist compositions verging on abstraction. But his most famous works are pastel portraits made by his one-man Portrait Painting Company “S.I. Witkiewicz”.
The album contains a selection of his most salient reproductions from various periods of the accomplished artist’s activity. The introduction was written by a famous expert on Witkacy, Anna Żakiewicz, PhD.
