[2019] Provenienz: Galerie Kicken, Berlin/Privatsammlung, Deutschland Literatur und Abbildung: Witkacy, Metaphysische Portraits, hg. von T.O. Immisch, Ulrich Pohlmann, Klaus E. Göltz, Leipzig 1997, S. 79/Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz (1885-1939), Photographien/Photographs, hg. von der Galerie Berinson, Berlin 2003, S. 27 (minimal größerer Ausschnitt) Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz gehört als zentrale Figur der polnischen Avantgarde zu den vielseitigsten und schöpferischsten europäischen Künstlern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Das „génie multiple“ Witkiewicz befasste sich mit so unterschiedlichen Bereichen wie Zeichnung, Malerei, Theater, Literatur, Philosophie, Kunsttheorie und Photographie. [...] Besondere Bedeutung innerhalb seines photographischen Werkes – erste Aufnahmen machte er bereits mit 14 Jahren – kommt den Portraitserien von Freunden und Verwandten zu. Diese ,Seelenportraits‘ halten auf sehr eindrucksvolle und manchmal auch unheimliche Weise den ,inneren‘ Menschen im Photo fest. Die zum Teil ungewöhnlich nahsichtigen Aufnahmen können durchaus als erste ihrer Art in der Geschichte der Photographie gelten. Das photographische Werk von Witkiewicz wurde im Zweiten Weltkrieg fast völlig vernichtet erhalten geblieben sind nur wenige Einzelbilder.“ (zit. nach: Op. cit. (Berlin 2003), S. 4-5) Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz (1885 Warsaw – 1939 Warsaw) Jadwiga Janczewska II, Zakopane. Circa 1913 Vintage. Gelatin silver contact print, presumably with sulphur and gold tone. 17,2 × 11,9 cm (17,6 × 12,3 cm) ( 6 ¾ × 4 ⅝ in. (6 ⅞ × 4 ⅞ in.)). Laid down on original cardboard, on the reverse of which numbered in pencil by various hands. [2019] Provenienz: Galerie Kicken, Berlin/private collection, Germany Literatur und Abbildung: Witkacy, Metaphysische Portraits, eds. T.O. Immisch, Ulrich Pohlmann, Klaus E. Göltz, Leipzig 1997, p. 79/Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz (1885-1939), Photographien/Photographs, Galerie Berinson, Berlin 2003, p. 27 (minimally larger detail) Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz, a central figure in the Polish avant-garde, was among 20th Century Europe&apos s most talented and creative artistic personalities. Witkiewicz was a multi talented artistic genius, whose creative output included drawing, painting, theater, literature, philosophy, art theory and photography. [...] Of particular significance within his photographic work - Witkiewicz took his first photographs at age 14 - is the series of portraits he took of friends and relatives. These "soul portraits" capture in an arresting and sometimes sinister manner the "inner" human being. These somewhat unusual pictures may be regarded as the first close-up portraits in the history of photography. The photographic work of Witkiewicz was almost completely destroyed in the Second World War only a small number of works remain." (cited after: Op. cit. (Berlin 2003), p. 6-7)
