(Witkacy)
1885-1939
Biographies
| His works |
|
Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz was
a writer, painter, philosopher, theoretician of art, creator of the theory of "pure form" in
art, theater, and poetry. Chief representative of "catastrophism"
and of a unique, innate expressionism. Author of grotesque parodic novels:
A Farewell to Autumn, Insatiability, dramas: The Madman and the Nun, The
Water Hen, The Shoemakers, all of them introducing the future avant-garde
theatre. His paintings are symbolistic. His works began
to be revived in Poland and the West in the 1950s and are now a
permanent feature of Polish theatrical repertoires.
