“...seeing is not just the passive reception of visual sensations. We analyse the received sensations, confront them with corresponding fragments of reality, make sense of the emergent interrelations and causes: what sort of sensations they are and what they say about the objectively existing world. In addition to the passive, physiological reception of visual sensations, there is the active, cognitive work of our intellect. There is the mutual influence of thinking on seeing and seeing on thinking...” -Theory of Vision

Art theoretician and avant-garde painter and designer, Strzemiński developed the theory of Unism (Unizm in Polish). He is the subject of Afterimage (2016) by Andrzej Wajda (final film).

Unism encompasses the classical logic, but it is much wider. One could suggest many sentences of the type "Unism is ...", and they all would be equally right, as well as equally wrong. Happiness, love, honesty, sincerity—all such ideas cannot be fully defined in words, one has to experience them, in order to understand them. -Creative Definition

“Sculpture is a part of the space around it. One must not be detached from the other. Sculpture enters space and space enters sculpture. Spatiality of construction, the link of sculpture with its space, brings out from the sculpture the truth of its existence. Then the shapes in sculpture must not be contingent. Only those shapes should be there which relate it to its space and link up both. The solid is a lie to the essence of sculpture. It closes up the sculpture and separates it from its space: it exists for itself and it regards its inner space like something completely divorced from the outer space. But as a matter of fact space is like everywhere else and always the same. At present, the solid belongs to history and it is just another beautiful tale from the past. New sculpture, as it becomes united with the surrounding space, should be its most condensed and appealing part. This is achieved, because its shapes, by their mutual interdependence, create a rhythm of sizes and divisions. The unity of rhythm arises out of the unity of its calculated scale. The harmony of units is the visible revelation of numbers.” - Katarzyna Kobro, Sculpture and Solid, Europa Magazine, 1929
