J. A. Galuszka wrote in "Gazeta Literacka" (No. 5, II 1933): "A book for which, first and foremost, the author deserves expressions of deep gratitude from all admirers of Jacek Malczewski. It has shown us not only the creative deed of a brilliant artist, but has brought us closer to Malczewski the man [...]. Prof. Adam Heydel was very fortunate: he got his hands on Malczewski's own diary, his poetry and a large correspondence [...]. The publisher tuned in to the height of the task: he gave a book that was beautiful in every respect."
