The essay explores a theme of differences between the two Witkiewiczes – father and son. These disparities concern lifestyle, ethics, politics and art. The father wanted his son to realize his own ideas of art. In the son’s opinion the father’s idea had failed and in turn he invented an even more radical aesthetics. Lovran is a place where the basic categories of Witkacy’s theory of Pure Form were formulated.

Witkacy’s well-known Pure Form in Theatre Theory constitutes, from the logical point of view, a sequence of paradoxical definitions and surrealistic examples. It is, undoubtedly, a premeditated tactics of the Author. Witkacy deliberately aspired to make a mess in the reader's (or, in fact, implied spectator’s) brain, and discreetly intervowen in principal specimen’s content own anthropological experience, collected in an Australian expedition. Finally, in the visionary novel Insatiability, Witkacy smashed up his concept of metaphysical theatre, impossible in the future stupefied society.
