The life of this very talented artist is similar to the lives of many of us; we are full of ourselves in youth, we say and do things we regret later in life, and then as we get older, hopefully, we begin to gather some wisdom. So, it was the life of the sculptor Szukaiski, who migrated from Poland to Chicago and then on to California with occasional trips back to the motherland. His work, at times, is breathtaking, and his habit of working in pieces as tall as builings was a testament to both his skill and his ego. But then, don't many of us (including myself) have enormous egos? What the man lost during the German invasion of Poland was truly tragic, but his body of work was inspiring. Unfortunately, like many of us, he went off the deep end a bit with his Easter Island fantasies, but we all have our foibles. His talent was undeniable, despite having to listen to his half-truths and outright silly propositions about life. Some of his views, however, were right on the money; especially his thoughts about following your gut instincts and ignoring all those who want to "help" you. Another observation I agreed with was his evaluation of some modern art; colors full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. A good documentary to put on you list.
