Summary/Abstract: The subject of the author’s interest in this article is the history of research into modern art in Poland, which began with the study of the Constructiv- ist group Blok. The author considers how reflection on the history and artistic programme of the artists associated with this group led to broader research on the avant-garde and its utopias, as well as caused the boundaries of artistic Modernism to be defined. From this point of view, he reviews the paths of future research that alternative art history can pursue on this ground.
