Artwork Title: Portrait of Maria Nawrocka
Most of that bottom line is a list of what drugs he ingested while painting the portrait. Displaying this list was a common practice for Witkacy. Along with being an artist, he was also a philosopher, author, playwright, poet, and photographer. He wrote a text in the 1930s relating his experiences with peyote (mescaline) and other drugs; this book foreshadowed works like Aldous Huxley’s The Doors of Perception (1954).
