Poetessa i Władca Ciemności Relacja Janiny Brzostowskiej z Witkacym na podstawie materiałów źródłowych Poetess and the Lord of the Darkness Relationship of Janina Brzostowska with Witkacy based on source material
The article is about Janina Brzostowska (born in Wadowice in 1897) and her relationship with the artist Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz called Witkacy. I started from Witkacy’s cooperation with artistic group „Czartak”. Then I described the meeting Janina Brzostowska, who was the member of the „Czartak” group, with Witkacy in his mother’s house in Zakopane. A lot of memories were sent to me by Janina’s Brzostowska’s son who lives in the USA – Witold Brostow. My article touches period of time when Janina lived in Warsaw and worked in „Skawa” magazine (1938-1939). Witkacy wrote four articles to this magazine at that time, which means they had closer cooperation. There are three portrets of Brzostowska painted by Witkacy (one from 1929 and two from 1939). Witkacy’s paintings contains special markups, which indicates what substances author was under influence of, when working on them, for example: cofeine, alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. Actually, these paintings are in Texas – in Witold Brostow’s house. Janina Brzostowska belived that Witkacy was a very inteligent and individualistic person. She appreciated him as an artist and she understood his approach to art. At the end I quoted the poem „The Lord of the Darkness” which Brzostowska wrote in memory of Witkacy in 1945.
