STANISŁAW IGNACY WITKIEWICZ'S ANNIVERSARY

  

 

 

Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz (1885 - 1939), popularly known as Witkacy, was a distinguished Polish playwright, philosopher, art theorist, painter, photographer and novelist. This year, two important anniversaries related to Witkacy are celebrated: the 125th anniversary of Witkacy's birth and the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Witkacy Theatre in Zakopane.

 

The Tatra Museum's contribution to these anniversaries are the following events, all taking place at the Museum of the Zakopane Style in Koliba villa:

- an exhibition of Witkacy's photographs (February 24 - 28) from the Museum's collection. On display will be 36 snapshots taken by Witkacy, his early studies from in and around Zakopane and his later photographs - famous "faces" as well as scenes photographed by Józef Głogowski in the 1930s in which Witkacy took part and which he devised. The featured photographs are originals from the Witkiewicz family archives and prints from glass negatives, including the celebrated "Collapse by the Lamp". Also three pastel "Self-portraits" by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz will be presented, two of which will be exhibited by the Tatra Museum for the first time.

- a series of films and the spectacle S. I. Witkiewicz Portrait Firm performed by the Witkacy Theatre
