Witkiewiczowie w Lovranie

100%
EN
The essay explores a theme of differences between the two Witkiewiczes – father and son. These disparities concern lifestyle, ethics, politics and art. The father wanted his son to realize his own ideas of art. In the son’s opinion the father’s idea had failed and in turn he invented an even more radical aesthetics. Lovran is a place where the basic categories of Witkacy’s theory of Pure Form were formulated.

The article discusses two ways in which modernist writers represent a duel. Witkacy describes a dispute between an artist and a modern society which deprives it of its meaning i.e. an honour. Gombrowicz understands that artists has already lost his honour and therefore exposes duels as a deliberate deconstruction of matters of honour. Both deal with complex restitution of the meaning that is applied to art in the modern society.

Amuzja Witkacego

100%
EN
Witkacy suffered from amusia as a child and as an adult person. He was seriously inter-ested in music only for little longer than twenty years (1890–1914?). He wrote his main works as amusic. The relation between amusia and metaphysical feelings may suggest that Witkacy wrote dramas and created painting compositions in order to evoke lost strangeness of being. Amusia could have also been the reason of Witkacy ambiguity – he was defending and degrading high art at the same time.

W artykule analizuję koncepcję improwizacji zapisaną w Jedynym wyjściu Witkacego. Pojęcie improwizacji charakteryzuje autor powieści jako swobodne wariacyjne tworzenie wywodzące się z natchnionej wizji. Wizję uważa Witkacy za najważniejszy, źródłowy element teorii artystycznej i praktyki twórczej. Analizuję również ślady improwizacji w rękopisie Jedynego wyjścia i opisuję grę między amplifikcjami a wizjami zapisanymi w improwizowanych fragmentach.

In the article I have analysed the concept of improvisation recorded in Jedyne wyjście by Witkacy. He described the notion as unconstrained variation-based creation flowing from an inspired vision. Witkacy considered vision as the most fundamental source element of artistic theory and creative practice. I have also analysed the traces of improvisation in the manuscript of Jedyne wyjście and I have discussed the play between amplifications and visions recorded in the improvised fragments.

Witkacy’s Amusia

100%
EN
Witkacy suffered from amusia as a child and as an adult person. He was seriously interested in music only for a little over twenty years (1890–1914?). He wrote his main works as an amusic. The relation between amusia and metaphysical feelings may suggest that Witkacy wrote dramas and created painting compositions in order to evoke the lost strangeness of being. Amusia could have also been the reason for Witkacy’s ambiguity – he was defending and degrading high art at the same time.

The article examines the relation between Tuwim’s poetry and modern colloquial language. The avant-garde artists for whom in the beginning of the 20th-century art was an elite occupation, treated every-day speech as a mass form of communication. Tuwim’s poetry was frequently criticised for banality. Matywiecki presents the poet as a hero fighting with the demon of commonness. The crucial thesis of the article is that banality which is modified in a creative way says more about the epoch than elitist visions. In his poetry, satire and cabaret work Tuwim transformed triviality into dialog and a common human being into a creative person. Transition of the street talk into original speech is the defence against reducing individual being to cliché which means the fear of 20th-century killing ideologies.

The text considers two metaphors describing creative freedom in modern society: secretiveness and shadow. In the shadow, creative individuals protect themselves against the ubiquitous need to explain and screen life. The text proves that contemporary literature (Sebald, Quinard) and essay (Vuarnet, Maffesoli) search inspiration in secretiveness and shadow while at the same time they see a threat to art in the mechanism of explanation.
