Schlabs` Photograms, so widely commented on and described, escape clear-cut categorisations. Dating 5 decades back, they still enrapture viewers with their modern form. In her text Bronislaw Schlab`s Experiments with the Photographic Medium (Bronislaw Schalabs. Step into Contemporaneity Fundacja 9/11 Art Space, 2012), Magdalena Wróblewska attempts to explain the phenomenon: "reduced to the necessary minimum, Schlabs` Photograms get to the essence of photography (…). They are about photography itself, highlighting a key feature of the medium and offering images intermediating with the object".
