Engaging in polemics on the article of dr H. Jędrzejewska entitled „Methodological Problems in the Reconstruction of Historic Monuments” („Ochrona Zabytków” , 1970, no 4, p. 187) the author shows a big resemblance to his own views on this subject, delivered at the conservation conference in Gdańsk in 1973, published in series B, volume XXXIV, o f the BMiOZ publication (page 64) and claims that the article should quote a reference. Further in the article the author draws attention to a stereotype fixed in the general comprehension of the conservator’s work, according to which artistic work of the conservator is limited merely to reconstructing the missing parts of the monument, while ail other activities represent the so-called technical conservation. The author tries to demonstrate that all activities on the visual plane o f the work of art have a standing of artistic creation. He also proposes to replace the division o f conservation into „artistic” (or „aesthetic” ) and „technical” with the division into „the removal of disformations” (broadly comprehended) and „giving the durability” , i.e. prolonging the object’s life.
