Summary/Abstract: The author starts with the question that Grzegorz Sztabiński asked in 1991 in the in-troduction to his book Problemy intelektualizacji sztuki w tendencjach awangardowych (Problemsof intellectualization of art in avantgarde tendencies) – "Does the artist need thinking?" Then shediscusses Sztabiński's artistic activity, taking into consideration his texts devoted to his ownwork. The author purposefully omits Sztabiński's books and numerous articles related to purelytheoretical issues, as well as those from the domain of artistic critique, and concentrates on hisartistic activity and selfcomments, to show how much importance he attached to theoreticaljustification of his own artistic actions.
