JAN JÓZEF SZCZEPANSKIS TREATY ON ART

The authoress describes Jan Józef Szczepanski's standpoint towards the question of art. The text is a reconstruction of the theory of art written by the author of 'Rafa' (The Reef) in the works: 'Lopata archeologa' (The Shovel of an Archeologist) and 'Biskup jedzie przez morze' (The Bishop Goes over the Sea). In these essays Szczepanski presents his own critics of commercial totalitarian art. Simultaneously he writes his personal, invented for his own needs, normative theory of creation in them.
