Stanisław Szukalski

Stanisław Szukalski was a Polish sculptor and painter who became a part of the Chicago Renaissance. Szukalski's art appears to show influences from ancient cultures, Egypt, Slavs, and Aztecs combined with elements of art nouveau and other currents of early 20th century European modernism: cubism, expressionism, and futurism. During the 1920s, he was hailed as Poland's "greatest living artist". His art was dubbed "Bent Classicism".
