The exhibition ARTUR SZYK − MAN
OF DIALOGUE would not be possible
without the help of various persons and
institutions. 5 5 INTRODUCTION
First of all, our thanks go to Ms.
Aleksandra Szyk (Bracie) Braciejowska,
who welcomed the initiative to show her
Father's works in his home city, as well as
to create a permanent exhibition of his art
in Łódź. She promised that should such a
place be established in Łódź, she would
donate originals of Artur Szyk's works that
she has in her possession to the City.
We are also very grateful for the help of
Irvin Ungar, art collector and the curator
of the Artur Szyk Society in California,
who kindly shared his knowledge and
provided us with reproductions of
numerous works for our exhibition.
The exhibition was also made possible
thanks to the involvement of Marek Szukalak,
a bibliophile who has been popularizing the
art of the great citizen of Łódź in Poland for
years.
The original works of Artur Szyk from his
Statute of Kalisz are presented courtesy of
the Józef Piłsudski Regional and Municipal
Public Library, the anti−Bolshevik posters
are owned by the State Archives in Łódź.
The exhibition is accompanied by excerpts
from the film Artur Szyk – the Illuminator,
directed by Piotr Zarębski.
The English version of the catalogue would
not be possible without the support of the
Poland (Polska), miniature and detail from Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of
the series Visual History of Nations, New
Canaan, 1946 the Republic of Poland.
