Under the influence of trips to Asian countries, Alexander Kobdzey began to gradually abandon socialist realism and began to write abstract paintings in the style of postmodernism . Of the abstract works, the most famous are Szczelina w zieleni (Slit in the green, 1967) Szeroka szczelina między fioletami (Wide slit among the violet, 1968).
