...warmly intimate. He chose the sensuous over the coldly classical, and though he appreciated style, he did not care for the showy. Sometimes his predilections led him astray. He owned, for instance, ten works by the American painter John Carroll, whose wispy, willowy ladies were scarcely top quality even in their own time.

Grotowski shows an audience the passion of man, his agony, his desolation, his death, and above all the violation of his body and his spirit. By portraying...
