Stanislaw Szukalski was a Polish sculptor, painter, draftsman and anthropologist. He was part of the Chicago Renaissance in the 1920s, enjoyed fame in 1930s Poland as a nationalistic sculptor, but spent his last years in obscurity.

Uklanski's title unites diverse works that engage typical imagery of his native Poland and play on the red/white palette. Although it is, on one level, authentically Polish, in its use of populist decorative traditions and political symbols alluding to the country's not-so-distant Communist past the exhibition is also a highly… Leer más
