Abstract
The first text (Teatralne przewidywania, ”Miesięcznik Literacki” 1942) concerns mainly the theatre, while the second one (O cyrkulacji piękna, „Tygodnik Powszechny” 1945) basically relates to cultural issues. They complement each other. Due to the common motif of social perception of creative work, they are significant for a more general reflection upon socialartistic phenomena in the collective life of a given society. The reality of war and occupation are not directly visible in Kudlinski’s views, as he emphasised, above all, the ideologicalorganisational aspect of theatrical life in the upcoming years. Taking into consideration folk theatre, professional and artistic-amateur theatre, he was convinced that they should be somehow combined, but remaining distinct. He regarded this option as a potential implementation of ”the idea of harmonious circulation of beauty by Norwid”. From this perspective, restoring value to folk art corresponds to the concept of circulation of artistic phenomena and understanding creation as «encouraging one another to work», and as «a flag on the tower of man’s work», stressed by the author of Promethidion, That is how Kudliński turned his work into a kind of art manifesto in the predictable realityof postwar years.
