About the Item

Presenting one of the great estate cast bronze scul[ptures by Polish/American sculptors Stanislav Szukalski (1934-1980) “The Prophet”, was originally cast in 1919. The sculpture has been estate cast in a numbered edition of nine bronzes with two foundry proofs, , this bronze is FP#2, lost wax cast from an original bronze and so it retains the original signature and date as well as the contemporary foundry mark in the bronze. The snakes represent two different schools of wisdom while a small man depicted as an Egyptian warrior stands at the front. The symbolism: next to his wisdom, man himself is insignificant. The sculpture is also illustrated in the 1923 book, “Works of Szukalski.” Stanislav Szukalski was a classically trained Polish artist who immigrated to Chicago and created an incredible body of sculptures and paintings. The Polish government requested that he return to Warsaw where they created the Szukalski National Museum. Sadly when Germany bombed Poland in 1938 all of Szukalski’s original work was destroyed and the artist and his wife returned to America with basically the clothes on their backs and nothing more. This bronze was displayed in an exterior sculpture garden for fifteen years and has a wonderful exterior weathered patina. The bronze has been professionally cleaned and polished by the original foundry in which it was cast, and is in beautiful condition. A Netflix documentary on the life and art of Stanislav Szukalski was just released in December 2018, “Struggle: The Life And Lost Art of Szukalski”, produced by Leonardo DiCaprio.

The Guardian

By Maxine Kim Stussy 1

Located in West Hollywood, CA

Maxine Kim Stussy was a prolific sculptor and painter from the late 1940’s to present. Maxine led an incredibly artistic life traveling the world with her husband at the time, artist Jan Stussy, who headed the art department at UCLA for several decades. Both artists were close associates of Stanton MacDonald Wright, known as one of the greatest American modernist artists, also known as the co creator of the synchronistic movement in the teens with Marcel Duchamp. Maxine was unrestricted by any singular medium; her sculptures took form in wood assemblage, concrete, bronze and unique nail assemblage. Large size seemed natural to her, and she often created figurative sculpture over 7 feet high. The gallery has represented the original sculpture of Maxine Kim Stussy for many years, and this is the first time we have presented any of her original works on 1st Dibs. “The Guardian...
