	Polish culture: Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz (Witkacy)
		Witkiewicz believed that universal equality, borne on the shoulders of inevitable social revolution, denoted the eradication of culture based on individualism and of metaphysics.
		Witkiewicz's protagonists are beset by troubles and ensnared by their efforts to feel the strangeness of existence.
		Witkacy was the son of Stanislaw Witkiewicz, an exceptional art critic, painter, creator of the "Zakopane Style" in architecture and handicrafts, and a propagator of Realism in the visual arts.

	Stanislaw I. Witkiewicz
		Witkiewicz was a radical critic of bourgeois society and the kind of social existence generated by capitalism, which he feared would lead to the complete dehumanisation of social life and a growing totalitarianism, with the consequent annihilation of the individual personality.
		It also marks the end of philosophy, its suicide: this is the negative result of his diagnosis of the growing mechanisation of life, the crisis of the individual in contemporary society, increasingly threatened by the advance of uniformity and democratic homologation, the greatest embodiment of which was for him Socialism.
		With his ontology his intention was to construct a system that would unite all the individual visions and partial truths of other philosophical viewpoints, especially psychologism and physicalism, thanks to the inescapable, unshakeable assumption of the totality of existence: "I start from the hitherto undifferentiated concept of Being in general".

		Witkiewicz was a photographer, artist and playwright, as well as a novelist; in each field, his work was greeted by unflagging disinterest.
		Witkiewicz does not seem to take himself or his ideas all too seriously, and so in some senses this book is a tonic compared to the general 'novel of education' of the time.
		Witkiewicz is one of the unknown geniuses of the modern novel and his life and work should serve as a model of inspiration and emulation by those seeking to further themselves creatively and philosphically in their own work

		Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz est né en 1885 dans une famille de petite noblesse terrienne peu fortunée.
		Pour Witkiewicz ce n'est pas une surprise, il avait toujours affirmé que la civilisation européenne marchait à grands pas vers l'anéantissement et que celui-ci serait provoqué par le nivellement social et par les démons qu'elle aurait auto-générée.
		Witkiewicz prédit aussi que l'artiste sera considéré comme fou, débile, dangereux dans la société de l'avenir, poursuivi pour ses oeuvres et traqué par le pouvoir central, car l'artiste refuse la robotisation, la standardisation de l'individu et de ses libertés.

		Witkiewicz’s often interrupted studies (1904–10) under Józef Mehoffer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków had less influence than his lessons in Zakopane and Brittany with Wladyslaw Slewinski, who introduced him to the principles of Gauguin’s Synthetism.

	Insatiability - Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz
		Witkiewicz uses him to expound his own theories -- serious and not so serious -- and he goes far afield in doing so.
		Witkiewicz does not seem to take himself or his ideas all too seriously, and so in some senses this book is a tonic compared to the general run of Bildungsroman from the time.
		Witkiewicz, a talented painter who gave up painting, also argues about the impotence of language, the inadequacy of fiction, rejecting his undertaking while creating such a huge work.

		A deeply pessimistic mind, and a philosopher, playwright, and painter, thirty-four-year-old Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz is the theoretician of the pure form.
		His essay Les formes nouvelles en peinture et les malentendus qui en decoulent [the new forms in painting and the misunderstandings that derive from them] puts the metaphysics of art in perspective.
		Utilitarian values, with the exception of very primitive ones, change constantly, but what was truth in art in ancient Egypt or ancient China is still truth to us, and will remain so as long as democratization and mechanization will not turn us into automatons incapable of experiencing the metaphysical.

		This collection, the first anthology in English, presents Witkiewicz in the full range of his creative and intellectual activities.
		The Witkiewicz Reader includes excerpts from three novels; four complete plays; letters to Malinowski; and selections from aesthetic, social, and philosophical essays detailing Witkiewicz's theory of Pure Form, his metaphysical system, and his apocalyptic view of the fate of civilization.

		Funny thing is, Witkiewicz not only wrote this one before those two blokes, his terrifying vision of the future is much closer to our current reality and god forbid what is still to come than those other two.
		It's quite sad because he COULD have done a good job but seems to have gotten a bit too obsessed with a gay sex element that actually occupies about less than 5% of the actual story line and also neglected the other MAJOR aspects of the story.
		Fans of Witkiewicz like myself will enjoy seeing this thing visualized (as mentioned the casting and art direction are unbelievably good) but we will have to wait for a real full blown version that is as daring as the original work.
