ReviewsLike some artistic Superman, Szukalski had the powerto beamthrough his subject's skin, muscle, bone, and brain andpull out their naked soul for closer inspection. These inner portraits reveal an awesometalent, - Edwin Pouncey,co-editor of Montague Summers: Antinous and Other Poems|9780867198799|, I am amazed and intimidated by these portraits everytime I look at them (which is often).

  • I think the large metaphoric bronze hand was named "Struggle"

    His brain never seemed to slow. Extremely opinionated , he had designed a social system based on consistencies he discovered throughout various cultures . These annotated portraits are just one example of his breadth .of skill and thought. Like Dore' he was a child prodigy .

  • Great book for even those not necessarily interested in art.

    Great snapshot of a tumultuous time in history as seen through the faces that the artist has chosen to interpret.

  • Compilation of Szukalski portraits works

    Loved it! He drew in various different styles, but there’s an underlying principle of caricature. A great reference book for me!
