Tadeusz Pe iper is known in Poland as the most prominent figure of the Central European avant-garde and founder of "Zwrotnica" (1922). Few people know about his ties to the Spanish and Spanish-speaking avant-garde circles. Peiper spent the years 1915-1920 in Madrid, in an environment strongly associated with Spanish ultraism. At that time in the Spanish capital were Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Guillermo de Torre, Vicente Huidobro, siblings Jorge Luis and Norah Borges, Rafael Barradas, as well as Poles - Jozef Pankiewicz, Jan Waclaw Zawadowski and Wladyslaw Jahl and Marian Paszkiewicz, who were associated with the ultraists. Peiper - who debuted as a writer of literary sketches and a journalist for leading magazines(El Sol, La Lectura, España and La Publicidad) - also maintained contacts with Manuel Azaña or José Ortega y Gasset.
