Summary/Abstract: This is a memorial for Professor Małgorzta Kitowska-Łysiak, an eminent art historian and the most outstanding expert on Bruno Schulz’s achievement in the visual arts. The author, Jerzy Jarzębski, writes: “There are people, just like Schulz, who balance their physical meagerness, sometimes combined with a disease and suffering, with some unusual inner tension, a spiritual quality of the highest measure. They are radiant and uniquely good. In such individuals the spirit, which seems to be imprisoned in the cage of the feeble body once and for all, manages to overcome its conditioning and resist bitterness, sustaining the need to give, an affirmation of the world and existence.”
