Struggle The Art of Szukalski

Stanislav Szukalski (1893-1987) was a one-of-a-kind artists who possess a great talent but do not achieve fame that would be congruent to that talent. Due to geopolitical upheavals in his native and Poland a large proportion of his work was destroyed. Yet thanks to the efforts of a group of dedicated art patrons art critics, and personal acquaintances, the work of Szukalski is being re-evaluated and actually shown to the public. This book which will act as a catalogue for a show of Szukalski's work at the Laguna Art Museum is the first critical view of his work to come out since 1923. His life and work are examined in a 60 page illustrated essay by Eva & Donat Kirsch, placing them in historical and art history context, followed by a selection of works with commentary by the artist. That commentary gives a first view of the artists idiosyncratic ideology that is explained in more detail in the last part of the book, 'Zermatism.'Szukalski, Stanislav is the author of 'Struggle The Art of Szukalski', published 2001 under ISBN 9780867194791 and ISBN 0867194790.
