Гомбрович към изкуството: „No credo en la pintura!“
Gombrowicz towards Art: “No credo en la pintura!”

Summary/Abstract: The text presents the long history of Gombrowicz`s dispute with painters and his permanent war against painting. In his Diary the writer wanted to present himself as an implacable enemy of both. He tried to discredit painting as not serious art and to expose painters as cunning imposters. But in his private life he had many friends who were painters. He really respected them, discussed seriously their art and admired their paintings. I’m trying to explain the true reasons of Gombrowicz`s stated aversions to painting and to answer the question if it was a provocation, typical for him, or his real belief.
