Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz, aka Witkacy (1885-1939), was a playwright, painter, novelist, philosopher and photographer, as well as an artist of living. Was he a man of the mountains, too? He spent half of his life living at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, in Zakopane, where his father Stanislaw, being an art critic and painter, promoted, not without success, the artistic potential of the local Gorale culture. Yet Witkacy, the defiant son, rejected his father's ideas. When painting landscapes, he eschewed any regional accents, and in his novel Pozegnanie jesieni (Farewell to Autumn), he brutally ridiculed the folklore. He loved skiing and mountaineering, yet he sneered at professional skiers and alpinists. At the same time, however, as his art and prose testify, he was deeply inspired by the Tatra landscape. It has to be viewed as the projection of subconscious content, both in the sphere of the fundamental conflict with his father (the novels), as in solutions to the practical problems of painting according to his Pure Form theory. This rich and ambivalent complex of emotional attractions and repulsions which has a dramatic existential dimension and is surprising in its artistic originality proves just how thoroughly Witkacy internalised the Tatras. His spontaneous confessions, full of words unknown to the Polish language but very affectionate like the 'chrunie' from the title, make the real mountains part of his personal, or even intimate, mythology.

The forgotten man of letters and acclaimed graphic artist Feliks Jabłczyński (1865-1928) led an experimental life and became part of the Warsaw legend. He discreetly contested bourgeois manners and morals as well as the rules of prose and the pursuit of the arts. From the perspective of a century he appears to have been a precursor of Polish artistic miserabilism, a fully conscious creator of the aesthetics of recycling in the spirit of Leśmian (whom he befriended), Witkacy, Schulz, Jonasz Stern, Kantor, Białoszewski and Hasior.

Father Brown, the detective from the series of short stories by G.K. Chesterton, appears to be a combination of impossible and contradictory features. The author designed him as paradoxical protagonist so as to present the incompatibility of psychological truths and moral laws. Actually, Father Brown expresses the indelible paradoxical nature of the plots of the crime story, which as literary genre does not assume any sort of an attitude to crime as such.

The article describes a discovery related to drawings made by Bruno Schulz in the 1930s. When the drawings are turned upside down, some of the faces portrayed in the work are transformed into other faces with demonic features. This technique, previously unknown in Polish graphic art, nonetheless has a long tradition in Europe, and Schulz appears to be part of this tradition. Such deformations, transgressing traditional boundaries of art, and containing an element of mysticism are also present in Schulz strategies of imagination, present in his written work.

The author brings the reader closer to the history of 'Collége de Sociologie', established by Georges Bataille, Roger Caillois, Michel Leiris and Jules Monnerot, and active in Paris in 1937-1939. This ambitious attempt at combining sociology, politics and life under a single guise, is assessed from the perspective of time as an epilogue of the pursuits of interwar artistic avantgardes - as the most radical attempt at merging the social sciences and art. For others, the Collége was, despite incessant attempts at transcending beyond the literary domain, the 'last group of the literary avantgarde'. The author suggested that a similar, albeit failed endeavour to 'cast light on the mysteries of the practical life' was the intention of Karol Irzykowski's periodical 'Meteor' (1898).

The significance of the works by the French entomologist J. H. Fabre for the formation of the world outlook of S. I. Witkiewicz - Witkacy had been noticed quite some time ago. This particular study accentuates the characteristic role played in the latter's imagination by one of the insects described by Fabre - the digger wasp sphex, due to the fact that H. Bergson recognised its behaviour as a key example of instinctive knowledge. Against the background of a psychomachy with the detested Bergson, Witkacy developed a mythology of the wasp, whose message is close to that of the mythology of the praying mantis in the essay by R. Caillois.
