These inner portraits reveal an awesometalent, - Edwin Pouncey,co-editor of Montague Summers: Antinous and Other Poems|9780867198799|, I am amazed and intimidated by these portraits everytime I look at them (which is often). To watch Szukalski'sprodigious genius expand, undaunted by success orindifference (mostly the latter), over the span of 60+ years is remarkable and moving. -Dan Clowes, artist, "I am amazed and intimidated by these portraits every time I look at them.
