Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz (1885-1939), better known as Witkacy, was a most prolific writer in the philosophy of art, a novelist, playwright and painter. His philosophical ideas took shape in the second decade of this century, and was presented in New Forms in Painting and the Ensuing Confusion (Nowe formy w malarstwie i wynikające stąd nieporozumienia, Warszawa 1919). A comprehensive exposition of his philosophy however was not published until 16 years later, i.e. when the book Conceptions and Theorems Implied by the Notion of Existence (Pojęcia i twierdzenia implikowane przez pojęcie istnienia, Warszawa 1935) came out; it contained his systematic teaching of the theory of being.
