Czartak - a regionalist literary group founded in Wadowice by Emil Zegadlowicz, active from 1922-1928. The name was taken from dialect, meaning a leper, watchtower, shed made of boards. The name Czartak was also used to describe a building near the village of Mucharz (probably a former guardhouse or chapel). Czartak's program combined religious mysticism with love of nature and praise of the "simple man" closely communing with it (Franciscanism). Disliked modern civilization (anti-urbanism). He was inspired by the ideas of Expressionism. The group was associated with the culture and topography of the Beskids, promoting regional motifs. Between 1922 and 1928 the group published 3 issues of the magazine "Czartak." Members of the group included: Edward Kozikowski, Jan Nepomucen Miller, Tadeusz Szantroch, Janina Brzostowska, Zofia Kossak-Szczucka, Jan Wiktor and several prominent artists-artists such as Julian Fałat, Wojciech Weiss, Zbigniew Pronaszko, Jan Hrynkowski. Some members of the group came from the environment of the magazine "Ponowa".
