The article presents Bolesław Prus’s view on painting and photography. In his weekly chronicles Prus often practiced some kind of “looking exercise”, aiming at the essence of painting. Prus’s adventure with paintings is, as the author claims, an adventure of a modern man, caught in the “vortex of modernity”, a vortex of constant changes, which make people encounter new things. In Prus’s case the new thing is photography, which he initially affirms, or even treats as superior to paintings and print, and later criticizes, but still accepting its value. This act of rejection is in fact a defence of artistic independence. The author, referring to Marshall Berman’s views, does not treat Prus’s gesture as anything unusual. Such an act characterises a 19th century artist, whose negations are always mixed with affirmations and eventually never deny the value of what is negated.
