Summary/Abstract: This essay endeavours to solve a question about the character of the “Wprost” group: a chance to create a community of persons (probably as a reference to Personalism) expressing within an artistic and social context experiences shared with recipients without enclosing themselves within the range of art and the autotelic character of its goals and tastes. As an informal group of friends “Wprost” believed in the language of images also by resorting to the tradition of European art and its iconological interpretation. It rejected post-Kapist aestheticization – this being a period of a strong impact exerted by the norms of that particular group – and the progressiveness of avantgarde extremists.
