	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.
		Against this unnatural end for philosophy, against its deterioration, Witkiewicz protested in the name of the individual and launched his slogan against the new myths of democracy and egalitarianism: "Monads of the world unite!".

	Stanisław Witkiewicz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stanisław Witkiewicz (1851–5 September 1915) was a Polish writer, painter and art theoretician, father of Witkacy (Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz).
		Witkiewicz had strong views against formal education: "school is completely at odds with the psychological make-up of human beings".
		He applied this principle in his son's upbringing and was disappointed when the 20-year-old Witkacy chose to enroll at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków.

	Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz - A Polish Genius - 1885-1939
		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 was born in Warsaw and in 1890 moved with his family to Zakopane, where his father would become well known as the creator of the “Zakopane Style” of handicrafts and architecture.
		When Witkiewicz opened the “S.I. Witkiewicz-Portrait Company” in 1924 in order to support himself, he continued this controlled drug experiment as a means of gaining access to the “masks” that revealed and concealed his subjects’ inner tensions.
		In September 1939, when Witkiewicz learned that Russian troops were invading Poland from the East (having already fled from the German troops that were advancing from the West), he killed himself by slitting his wrists.

		Promoting modern French art in Poland, painter and art critic Stanislaw Witkiewicz argued in 1884 that it is quite insignificant whether a work depicts Jan Zamoyski's victory over Prince Maximilian or a country wench ("Kafka") picking up turnips.
		Stanislaw Witkiewicz expresses this "fundamental contradiction" in his -often-quoted (but usually misunderstood) statement questioning the ideological function of art.
		Analyzing numerous ideas discussed by outstanding critics (Stanislaw Witkiewicz, Stanislaw Przybyszewski, Zenon Przesmycki), Cavanaugh neglects their core: namely, a conviction that a work should be evaluated with regard to the formal values and not to its subject matter.

	The Curmudgeon: Witkacy
		Once there was a writer named Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz; he was a painter, a playwright, a critic, a novelist, a philosopher, a photographer, a womaniser, a drug fiend and a Pole.
		His father, Stanislaw Witkiewicz, was a painter of landscapes, well-off and with some unconventional ideas about education.
		At this time Poland was part of Tsarist Russia, and Witkiewicz senior was a Polish nationalist; when the First World War broke out Witkacy enlisted as an officer in the Russian army, wounding his father grievously in the heart.

		Witkiewicz is known for his outrageously extravagant scenes influenced by all kinds of cults and philosophical speculations.
		The play was largely inspired by the life of German mathematician Georg Kantor, who proved infinity to be an actual value (as opposed to a more vague notion of the inestimable, or a philosophical notion of "nothing beyond") and died in a mental institution in 1918.

	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.

	The Mother (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz is everything you'd expect from an early 20th-century Polish avant-garde artist.
		He was a wild man in his personal life (at least in terms of sex and drugs; rock 'n' roll wasn't invented yet), misunderstood by his peers (very few of his many plays were performed in his lifetime, and his theories were dismissed as twaddle), and quite possibly insane.
		In contrast to her 2002 production of Witkiewicz's Tumor Brainiowicz, which was full of elaborate costumes, puppets, and musical mischief (and also produced by Theatre of a Two-Headed Calf), director Brooke O'Harra takes a more straightforward approach with The Mother.

		In reponse to the appearance in Zakopane at the second half of the 19th century of Swiss-style summer residences, Stanis³aw Witkiewicz felt induced to work out a Polish style based on folk art motifs from the Podhale region.
		Known as Zakopane Style, it was the first Polish national style to go further than theoretical stipulations and result in practical accomplishments not only in Zakopane but in the areas within the borders of the Polish Commonwealth before the partitions.

		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.
