Summary/Abstract: The text analyzes the debate on the roles of realism and irrationality in art, especially on the example of the writings of Władysław Strzemiński, Karol Hiller and the Jung Yiddish group, active in Łódź between the wars. The cosmopolitan artistic environment of the visual avant-garde reinterpreted both realism and irrational elements in art as tools of social modernization.
