	Tadeusz Kantor, by J. Edgar Bauer
		Since for Kantor, the progressive decrease of form in matter reveals the increasing richness of the potentialities that are inherent in matter, primal matter must be conceived of as the "non-being" that underlies, unmediated, the "reality of the lowest rank" and has, eventually, the potentiality to become anything whatsoever, including a work of art.
		In the context of Kantor's aesthetics, this "reality of the lowest rank" is embodied by the "discarded object" in its "poorest state"[20], for it most radically conveys the material "objectiveness" of an object as opposed to the refinement of forms and the art these forms have rendered possible throughout history.
		It is not by chance, that Kantor describes his own scenic method literally as "turned toward 'nothingness' ", and therefore as actually "impossible."[21] Although the "nothingness" of primal matter is not graspable in itself, it nonetheless marks the direction of Kantor's search for an "exponent and criterion of individuality"[22] beyond the normativity of inherited "forms".

	POLISH CULTURAL INSTITUTE
		Throughout the world, Tadeusz Kantor is best known as an outstanding and highly original figure in 20th century theatre, as the creator of his own theatre group and of productions branded with a poetic that derived from a complicated private/public Galician origin and its consequences.
		Kantor himself strived to live by these principles in his own way, namely, by absorbing any and all novelties, skillfully assimilating that which was useful to him, and transforming and modifying it if necessary.
		Kantor's credits also include the organization of a series of para-theatrical actions that anticipated many of the phenomena that would eventually constitute the polyphonic art of the 1960s and 70s.

		Kantor, who was born in Wielopole in 1915, came to represent the Polish post-war avant-garde and his productions - in particular 'The Waterhen', 'Lovelies and Dowdies' and 'Let the Artist Die' - have come to be seen as artistic works without parallel.

	All About Jewish Theatre - Tadeusz Kantor (1915-1990)
		Kantor therefore replaced the concept of "Informel Theatre" with that of "Zero Theatre" (1962-1964), which was stripped of all action and the transpiring of any events.
		Happenings, as Kantor himself wrote, were a consequence of his previous experiences in the theatre and as a painter: "Thus far I have tried to overcome the stage, now I have abandoned the stage outright, that is, I've abandoned a place that remains in a certain relation with viewers.
		His greatness derives not so much from his oeuvre, as from Kantor himself in his entirety, as a kind of Gesamtkunstwerk that consists of his art, his theory, and his life," states Jaroslaw Suchan, curator of the exhibition "Tadeusz Kantor.

	Tadeusz Kantor Zacheta Gallery Warsaw - Pressrelease
		The conception of the exhibition is founded on the conviction that in Kantor's art, despite the fact that some of his works are deservedly classed as masterpieces, it is not so much the individual works themselves, but the idea created by the artist that is of prime significance.
		Of a story in which a yearning for an avant-garde utopia mixes with a fear of its tyranny, and where memory is both a burden and a liberation from the terror of modernity, while reality is in its turn a homage made to illusion.
