Edited by Glenn Bray and Lena Zwalve. Illustrated from the author's own photographs of his works. Pictorial boards. First Edition.

An important book in re-establishing Stanislav Szukalski to the level of international acclaim long after the Nazis nearly erased this early work from history. "Fortunately for us today, Szukalski did never water down his artistic wine. He survived for many, many decades, through times of hardship, times of riches, times of bitterness, and times of hope. When his early oeuvre was destroyed by Nazi bombs after a triumphant move back to Poland, he started all over, working twenty-hour days to leave us his amazing legacy...The negatives survived in storage in the U.S.A., while the artist and his wife, Joan Donovan, fled German bombs over Europe" - Lena Zwalve, Introduction.
