Portrait of a Man, Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz (Witkacy), 1926.
The painting comes from the renowned Portrait Company 'S.I. Witkiewicz.' In its regulations, the artist stipulated: 'The client isn’t permitted to express any criticism whatsoever. The client may not appreciate the portrait, but the firm cannot allow even the smallest remarks to be made without its special authorisation. If the firm would allow for such a luxury – of listening to clients’ opinions – it would’ve gone mad long ago'.
The portraits had specific types A, B, C, D, and E as outlined in the company's regulations. The artist depicted in Type C in the image experimented with drugs. Created exclusively for friends and not for sale, these portraits showcase distorted faces of models covered with multicolored, pastel strokes.
