Stanislaw Szukalski, Tobie Ojczyzno! (For you motherland!), 1953
Est: €30,000 - €40,000
Stanislaw Szukalski, Tobie Ojczyzno! (For you motherland!), 1953 Sanguine on paper, 48 x 64 cm (framed 62 x 78 cm). The drawing represents Zofia Jordanowska, wife of Stanislaw Jordanowski. Jordanowski fought in WW2 in Poland and France, then worked in Headquaters of the Polish Armed Forces. In 1951 he moved to New York. Jordanowski was also a great specialist on Polish art - he authored "Vademecum malarstwa polskiego" (Vademecum of Polish painting). Between 1983-1993 he was a president of the Jozef Pilsudski Institute of America. Stanislaw Szukalski (Warta, Poland 1893 – Burbank, USA 1987). Polish sculptor and painter, author of the Zermatism theory. As a child he moved to Chicago with his family. A child prodigy in sculpture, he enrolled at age 13 at the Art Institute of Chicago. A year later, sculptor Antoni Popiel persuaded Szukalski’s parents to send him back to Poland, to enroll at Cracow's Academy of Fine Arts in 1910. In 1925 Szukalski participated in the International Exhibition of Modern and Decorative Arts in Paris, where he won numerous awards. After traveling in Europe from 1926 to 1928, Szukalski moved back to Cracow, Poland. In 1929 he founded there an artistic movement called the Tribe of the Horned Heart (Szczep Rogate Serce), centered on Polish artists who sought inspiration in the pagan or pre-Christian history of Poland. During the siege of Warsaw by the German army in September 1939, Szukalski was hurt in the initial bombing attack on Warsaw, which destroyed much of his studio. With two suitcases, Szukalski and his wife took refuge in the US embassy, since both were American citizens. The two eventually escaped from Poland and were able to make their way back to the United States. In 1940, Szukalski and his wife settled in Los Angeles, where he did odd jobs in film studios, designing scenery and occasionally sculpted, and did drawings. During the last years of his 75-year-long career Szukalski’s major projects as a sculptor were Prometheus (1943), designed for Paris in homage to the French partisans; the Rooster of Gaul (1960), a gigantic and complex structure that he wanted the U.S. to give France to reciprocate for the Statue of Liberty; Katyn (1979), a monument to commemorate the death of more than 20,000 Polish officers and intellectuals killed by the Soviets during World War II; and a monument intended for the city of Venice (1982), featuring the Polish pope John Paul II. None of these projects went further than Szukalski's immediate friends. In 2018, Leonardo DiCaprio produced a documentary entitled Struggle: The Life and Lost Art of Szukalski, which was released on Netflix as of December 21, 2018.
