The essay explores a theme of differences between the two Witkiewiczes – father and son. These
disparities concern lifestyle, ethics, politics and art. The father wanted his son to realize his own
ideas of art. In the son’s opinion the father’s idea had failed and in turn he invented an even more
radical aesthetics. Lovran is a place where the basic categories of Witkacy’s theory of Pure Form
were formulated.
