Stanisław Witkiewicz
:"For his son, the writer who lived 1885–1939, see
Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz ."Stanisław Witkiewicz (May 8 ,1851 inSamogitia –5 September 1915 inLovran ) was a Polish painter, architect, writer and art theoretician.Life
Witkiewicz studied in
Saint Petersburg , 1869–71, then inMunich , 1872–75.He created the
Zakopane style ("styl zakopiański") orWitkiewicz style ("styl witkiewiczowski") in architecture [See picture in Polish article on "styl zakopiański".] . He was strongly associated withZakopane and promoted it in the art community.His son,Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz , became a famous painter, playwright, novelist and philosopher, also known (from theconflation of hissurname andmiddle name ) by the mononymous pseudonym "Witkacy." The son's godmother was the internationally famous actressHelena Modrzejewska , whom the elder Witkiewicz in 1876 had nearly accompanied toCalifornia in theUnited States .Witkiewicz had strong views against formal
education : "school is completely at odds with the psychological make-up of human beings". He applied this principle in his son's upbringing and was disappointed when the 20-year-old Witkacy chose to enroll at the Academy of Fine Arts inKraków .In 1908, suffering from
tuberculosis , the elder Witkiewicz left his family in Zakopane to settle in Lovranno, in present-dayCroatia , where he died in 1915.ee also
