About this book

This album presents the principal works of Witkacy (Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz), one of the most innovative and singular Polish painters. The book is divided into chapters describing successive periods in his work. Anna Zakiewicz, a Witkacy specialist, guides us through the artist's biography and introduces us to the world of his artistic imagination. We observe his diverse portrait types and his numerous self-portraits, along with his occasional landscapes, fantasies, and sketches.
