Stanisław Szukalski was a well-known Polish sculptor and painter recognized for his distinctive artistic style that blended influences from ancient civilizations like Egyptian, Slavic, and Aztec with elements of art nouveau and early 20th-century European modernism. He was highly regarded as Poland’s top artist in the 1920s and played a crucial role in the Chicago Renaissance. Szukalski’s art was distinguished by his coined term “Bent Classicism.” Moreover, he introduced the controversial pseudo-scientific and historical theory of Zermatism, offering an unconventional narrative about the origins of human culture.
