Stanisław Szukalski

    Stanisław Szukalski fu uno scultore e pittore polacco che divenne parte del Rinascimento di Chicago. Nella Polonia degli anni '30 godette di fama come scultore nazionalista. Sviluppò anche la teoria pseudoscientifico-storica dello Zermatismo, postulando che tutta la cultura umana derivasse dall'Isola di Pasqua post-diluviana e che l'umanità fosse intrappolata in una lotta eterna contro i Figli dello Yeti ("Yetinsyny"), la progenie dello Yeti e degli umani.

      An overview of the art of Stanislav Szukalski. Szukalski (1893-1987) was one of the great sculptors of the 20th Century. Due to geopolitical upheavals in his native land, 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 rediscovered. This is the first critical view of his work published since 1923, and contains writings, drawings, and photographs of his sculpture.

    • Gdy opowiadanie Stanisława Szukalskiego 'Niemy Śpiewak' ukazało się w oryginale, w języku angielskim, zostało wysoko ocenione przez krytykę. Ze względu na wartości literackie i język utworu, autora przyrównano wówczas do Josepha Conrada. Natomiast Brytyjska Akademia Nauk zestawiła utwór Szukalskiego z prozą Guya de Maupassanta i Antoniego Czechowa. Pisze o tym w monografii poświęconej polskiemu artyście Lechosław Lameński.
