The subject of the analysis is a contemplation of the phenomenon of art presented in the essays by Zbigniew Herbert (1924–1998). The author of this article notes that the stories of the writer’s aesthetic fascinations share in most cases the same scenario: they lead from an “aesthetic shock”; a sudden revelation, which sometimes takes the form of an epiphany, all the way to the painstaking factographic studies. A work of art placed in a wide variety of contexts, reveals its relationships with the circumstances it arose in. Although an effort to explicate (to reduce it to objective formulas) the meaning of the work turns out to be generally ineffective, a sense of the creator’s presence becomes intense. Thus it can be argued that the interpreter’s efforts do always go beyond the horizon delineated by hermeneutics – a desire of understanding gives way to a desire of establishing contact. Accordingly, in this context it can be said about a dialogue as an universal formula determining the attitude adopted by the essayistic speaker towards works of art. Culture perceived from this perspective appears to be a meeting space, a place where contact is established between those who are capable of seeing its particular phenomena as signs and messages whereas behind them – real faces and beings bound by common fate.
