The text focuses on an important event in the artistic history of the 2nd Polish Republic, i.e. awarding a prestigious Prize of the City of Łódź in 1932, on this occasion for the first time to an artist. The winner, as it turned out, was Władysław Strzemiński. Previously only writers had been awarded it and they strongly criticized the prize founders’ decision, considering it a deprivation of their own privilege. The originator of widening the prize’s formula, head of the Culture and Art Department at Łódź Municipality Przecław Smolik, though himself a writer and bibliophile. Awarding the prize to Strzemiński was an unprecedented event in the history of the artistic life in inter-war Poland. The social ranking of the prize was extremely high. Additionally, the question of the artistic Prize also became the direct cause of transferring in 1923 the discourse on the essence of the Avant-garde, and Constructivism in particular, from professional artistic journals to popular national press, as well as to periodicals conservative in their character. It was a phenomenon of a sudden and unexpected permeating of the issues of previously elitist art to mass culture circulation on an unprecedented scale.
