Summary/Abstract: Stanislaw Machniewicz published in 1934 a book called "The aesthetics of everyday life". In this book, one can find an idea, that modern man has gained new possibilities of creating beauty while losing the ability to perceive it. The author therefor calls for going back to sensuality and creating the skin of seeing beauty not only in art, but also in the world around human beings.
