now back to witkacy lol (part I here)

look under the poll for more info about the artist!

from culture.pl:

In 1925 Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz a.k.a. Witkacy gave up oil painting and founded the S.I. Witkiewicz Portrait Firm, which became his primary source of income (‘For a 100 zlotys I’ll make a portrait of an entire figure. Destitution, creativity and life are coming to an end’). Clients had to respect the firm’s Regulations which included a rule saying that ‘misunderstandings are banned.’ In a dozen or so years he created thousands of portraits. Not everyone, however, could count on the privilege of being depicted. Some requests were rejected with a stern: ‘I see no reason for that!’

the various letters and numbers abbreviations on the portraits was witkacy's way of tracking what drugs, intoxicants and/or medicine he was on at the time of drawing. he was supervised by a doctor, so, i guess, it's not that unhinged? pretty bonkers still. sherlock holmes if he were a polish painter XD

examples include: C for alcohol, Co for cocaine, Cof for caffeine, her for tea, Et for ether, F.ZZ. for smoking a pipe, Eu for eukodal (pain medicine), pyfko for beer, NП + [number of days] for how many days he went without alcohol...

photography round 1 poll 23

Self-portrait by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, c. 1912:

submitted description: Witkacy's self-portrait on broken glass negative // black and white photo, only the head of the artist is visable reflected in a broken mirror

propaganda: Some critics say he broke the glass negative on purpose to show his 'shattered self', others that it was an accident. Anyway, I love how unsettling this photography is. Makes me shiver.

Obsessive self-portraits (series) by Magda Hueckel, 2006 :

submitted description: multiple exposure fusing her own young body with decomposing plants and fruits
