Biography:

Stanisław Szukalski (1893-1987), born in Warta, son of Dyonise and Konstancja, née Sadowski, sculptor, painter, draughtsman, designer and theoretician, leader of the Rogate Heart Scion. From childhood he was interested in creation and made sculptures. In 1903, his family emigrated to the United States of America. As a thirteen-year-old, he began attending the Art Institute of Chicago, where his talent was recognised. His father decided to send him to study in Krakow, where he was taught by, among others, Konstanty Laszcz and Jacek Malczewski. In 1913, he returned to the States. In 1923, he married the artist Helena Walker. In the 1920s he travelled throughout Europe and had exhibitions both in Poland and, among others, in Paris. In 1929, he organised the Szczep Szukalszczyk Herbu Rogate Serce in Krakow and began his journalistic activities, writing in the author's magazine Krak. In 1939, he returned to the States, but did not fare well. Since then, he has been busy solving all the mysteries of the world, such as the origins of languages, customs and faiths. He published these in the extensive work 'Protong'.
