A b s t r a c t

The article addresses the well-known problem of the complex relations between the works of Stanisław Przybyszewski and naturalism. However, this problem is not discussed in terms of ideology but poetics. The focus is on description and descriptiveness as components of a literary (or painterly) work of art and their role in representing the world, i.e. relations between aesthetics and epistemology.
