Summary/Abstract: The authors analysed the secret of the workshop of W. Hasior, which consists of a synthesis of the local, provincial and folk with the universal, the archetypes of Greek mythology that the artist carefully studied. Hasior expressed the great dramas of the Greek deities by resorting to the most common material borrowed from the fairground refuse heap of daily life. In doing so, he transposed the classical myth into the sensitivity of the contemporary recipient.
