The aim of the article is to examine the figure of a vagabond and an artist in the novel The Hidden Mountain (La Montagne secrète) by Gabrielle Roy which, according to Antoine Boisclair, is the first Quebec novel completely devoted to painting. It presents the wandering of the artist who does not perceive his vagabondage as movement from one place to another, but regards it as the essence of both his existence and his creation. First, the analysis explores the problem of wandering as narrative basis, examining the tension between the external reality and the inner experience of the painter. Then, the aim of the artist’s journey, symbolically delineated by the Hidden Mountain, is analyzed. The final part of the article is devoted to the concept of art presented in the novel, with particular emphasis on the humanistic dimension of artistic creation.

This article posits that in Karol Wojtyła’s and Jerzy Grotowski’s thinking about art, it is possible to identify commonalities by which their aesthetic and ethical concepts can be associated with the work of John of the Cross. The author argues that in both cases, the link might be the writings and views of Polish theater artists fascinated by John of the Cross: Juliusz Osterwa and Mieczysław Kotlarczyk. She offers a comparative analysis of selected aspects of the writings of Wojtyła, Grotowski, and John of the Cross, revealing similarities and differences in their understanding of art, and highlighting elements characteristic of the aesthetics of performativity. Interpreting terminological convergences in the analysed texts, she focuses on concepts concerning the aims of art and the methods of achieving these aims. She tries to demonstrate that all three authors variously employed performativity and the epiphanic character of art in exploring human experiences concerning the sphere of numinosum.
