Abstract

The aim of comparing Ecce Homo by Adam Chmielowski (late nineteenth century) with The Surrealist Shooting (1949) by Andrzej Wróblewski is to show how the ability to depict God was gradually breaking down in the modern period. While Chmielowski tried to overcome that deadlock, Wróblewski after having decided to join the Communist revolution, focused on depicting the retreating God.
