INNER PORTRAITS BY SZUKALSKI

Stanislav Szukalski (1893 1987) was an artist, anthropologist, and member of Chicago's artistic elite during the 1920s who spent his last years in obscurity. Today he is remembered for his political and scientific views and his brilliant sculptures; he had major exhibits in Poland and his sculptures were centerpieces in many towns, but when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, many were destroyed as "decadent" art.

Highly regarded in both the U.S. and Poland between the World Wars, he lapsed into obscurity, living and working in “America’s Cultural Siberia” (Southern California) until comic art collector Glenn Bray rediscovered him in 1973.

Szukalski is now the subject of the critically acclaimed 2018 Netflix documentary, Struggle: The Life and Lost Art of Szukalski,  directed by Irek Dobrowolski and produced by Leonardo DiCaprio.
