Square quarto, softbound (stiff yellow slick illus. wrappers), 96 pp. Fine. From lower coer: In his classic study of mythology, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell writes, "It is not society that is to guide and save the creative hero, but precisely the reverse. It is the hero or artist who is the true avatar of civilization; the individual, not the group, preserves and advances culture. Stanislav Szukalski was one such avatar, an unsung creative hero who toiled away in Burbank, California, without the recognition he was due. At 93 years of age, Szukalski is dead. Just prior to his death, Szukalski was still maintaining a one-man assembly line of symbolic sculptures, drawings, and writings. Despite this, and despite a reputation as a celebrated artist that spanned two continents in the '20s and '30s, Szukalski was virtually unknown in Los Angeles. In the '30s he was considered Poland's greatest artist; he is all but unknown to the art community here. In the face of monumental indifference, Szukalski maintained a prodigious creative output. Who was Szukalski and what is his art? Skukalski was a son of Poland, born in 1893 in the town of Warta, who established himself as an artist at a very early age. At the age of 14 he had his first exhibition at the Krakow Art Academy. Soon after, he immigrated to America with his blacksmith father and settled in Chicago. As a young artist living in Chicago, Szukalski met luminaries such as Ben Hecht, Carl Sandberg, Sherwood Anderson, Harriet Munroe (the editor of Poetry magazine), and Clarence Darrow. Because he liked working on sculpture while discussing a variety of different subjects, he proposed they form a "Vagabond Club," which met fortnightly in his loft on Wabash Avenue. The motto of the Vagabond Club expressed a progressive vision Szukalski says he has never abandoned: "All those who eagerly perceive the as-yet-unnamed are Vagabonds.".
