Let others boast about
the number
of their followers:
I take pride in those
I follow.
(Pseudo Borges)
Stylization,
first and foremost.
Dashboard longa,
vita brevis.

Portrait of Maria Nawrocka, Witkacy (Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz)
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, & photographer.
He wrote a text (which I’ve yet to find or I’d post it) in the 1930’s relating his experiences with peyote (Mescaline) and other drugs; this book foreshadowed works like Aldous Huxley’s The Doors of Perception (1954).
