"Portrait of Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński" is a painting by the renowned Polish artist Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, commonly known as Witkacy. Created in 1929, this work is a striking example of Witkacy's unique style, which often combined elements of expressionism and formism. The portrait depicts Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński, a prominent Polish writer, translator, and critic, known for his contributions to Polish literature and his translations of French classics.

Witkacy was known for his psychological portraits, aiming to capture not just the physical likeness but also the inner essence of his subjects. In this portrait, Boy-Żeleński is presented with exaggerated features and vivid colors, reflecting Witkacy's interest in exploring the psychological depth and complexity of his sitters. The use of bold lines and dynamic composition is characteristic of Witkacy's approach, which often sought to challenge traditional portraiture norms.

The relationship between Witkacy and Boy-Żeleński was one of mutual respect and intellectual exchange. Both were influential figures in the Polish cultural scene of the early 20th century, and this portrait is a testament to their connection. Witkacy's work often included elements of satire and critique, and this painting is no exception, as it subtly comments on the persona and public image of Boy-Żeleński.

Witkacy's portraits are also notable for their incorporation of his unique philosophical ideas, particularly his theory of Pure Form, which emphasized the importance of form over content in art. This theory is evident in the stylized and abstract elements of the portrait, which prioritize emotional and psychological expression over realistic representation.

Today, "Portrait of Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński" is considered an important piece within Witkacy's oeuvre and is held in high regard for its artistic and historical significance. It remains a fascinating example of early 20th-century Polish art and Witkacy's innovative approach to portraiture.
