Description

Behold!!! The Protong, first published by Bray in 1980, was the first book in 50 years to bring Szukalski's work to the light of the American public. It is a modest selection from the thousands of drawings in the Zermatism oeuvre. The Work of Szukalski (Covici-McGee, 1923) and Projects in Design (University of Chicago Press, 1929) showed the young Szukalski's strength as artist-sculptor. This book combines those vitalities and steps beyond the accepted rules-for-artists in that it is divinely idiosyncratic and wholly unique.

Author Biography:

Stanislav Szukalski (1893-1987) was a Polish-born sculptor, writer, graphic artist, and heretic. Highly regarded in both the US and Poland between the World Wars, he lapsed into obscurity until comic art collector Glenn Bray rediscovered him in 1973. Glenn Bray is the publisher/editor of books on Basil Wolverton (Gjdrkzlxcbwq Comics, Foopgoop Frolics, and The Original Art of Basil Wolverton); Harvey Kurtzman (the first comprehensive study of the Mad comics legend, The Illustrated Harvey Kurtzman Index); Stanislav Szukalski, (Troughful of Pearls, Inner Portraits, The Lost Tune, and Struggle); and the Fantagraphics publication of his personal original art collection, The Blighted Eye. He is the co-editor of To Laugh That We May Not Weep, the Life and Art of Art Young. He resides in California with his wife Lena Zwalve.
