The article is an attempt to read out of Czapski’s notes an outline of his understanding of painting as an art form, the foundations of his aesthetics, and his ideas concerting a painter’s attitude and duties. In his creative work, as well as in the reflections that accompanied it, Czapski paid attention not only to the artist’s technical abilities (composition, interplay of colors, etc), but also saw the important role of emotions, of the artistic experience, which he called ‘shock’. He advised deepening such emotions through concentration, through focused observation of what is given in this experience. This connects with the artist's moral stance, where selflessness, being uncompromising, and artistic honesty are the virtues, and pride and yearning for success are the anti-virtues. In the end, art, according to Czapski, allows us to express human existence, and can even open us up to another, other-worldly dimension: eternity.
