Item „Muszę mieć maskę, wściekłą maskę”. Polemika z Marią Anną Potocką(WYDAWNICTWO NAUKOWE UNIWERSYTETU im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2010) Okołowicz, StefanPolemicising with Maria A. Potocka’s view, the author reflects on the problem of mask and facial expression in the life and work of S.I. Witkiewicz. They appear here as an expression of philosophy of man, a specific feature of the personality of the author of Szewcy [The Shoemakers] whose whole life, artistic and philosophical activity was marked by “facial expression”. The article also reminds the unusually important texts of Stefan Szuman, Witkacy’s friend, who points to the essence of Witkacy’s portraits. The last question discussed in this article is the problem of ascribing to Witkacy of the authorship of most of the photographs in which he is presented (since they are a documentation of his artistic creations) while actually the authors of these photographs are a dozen or so photographer friends of Witkacy.Item „Witkacy rzucił się jak szczerbaty na suchary”. Witkiewicz w czasie pierwszej wojny światowej(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM w Poznaniu, 2010) Okołowicz, StefanThis text is a polemic with an article by Maria A. Potocka “Ja” jako materiał twórczy [“I”as a material for creation]. When considering the problem of the presence of Witkacy in the Tsarist army, the author comes to a conclusion that Witkiewicz went there where he did not intend to go, misled by inaccurate information. The choice of the Russian opportunity based on incomplete or untrue information and unsuccessful coincidences – according to the author – should be considered in the categories of Witkacy’s personal tragedy no matter what significance this fact gained later.
