Morawski adopted a value-laden attitude towards mass art. That is why in his reflections on aestheticization processes its role remains unnoticed by him, contrary to his original declarations. This is why I have to ask Morawski questions that he leaves unanswered. Does in fact the spectacularity of contemporary life result in its “art-like” constitution? The author of the essay gives a positive answer here, stressing that mass art becomes the model for shaping life, and tries to answer what this pattern is based on. Thus Morawski’s views appear here as a negative point of reference. The positive part of the considerations, on the other hand, focuses on Walter Benjamin and Jean Baudrillard.}, doi = {10.4467/20843860PK.21.054.14971}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/przeglad-kulturoznawczy/article/stefana-morawskiego-wizja-sztuki-masowej-i-estetyzacji-swiata-uwagi-krytyczne} }
