Abstract

In this article geometry and its possibility to become a narration, referring to the concept of “the language of geometry” is presented. The changes that have been made in the application of geometry dependent on the early 20th century, through the 2nd half of the 20th century to the present are indicated. The field of research was the author’s own way of using geometric motifs in art, to their relationship with universal values and the current social situation. Pointed out is the fact that geometry is not just a set of formal signs, but active linguistic communication possessing the ability to build a narrative. The experience of changes in the abstract art were compared to the work of Tadeusz Różewicz, who in postmodern reality constructed a new literary form.
