Above: Sadistic Women, 1919, charcoal on paper. *Editor's Note: Bruno Schulz did not himself wish to be featured on The Site at MANOVERBOARD.com. However, as one of the most important artists of extreme vision, the Editor has decided to feature him on The Site at MANOVERBOARD.com. during the month of May 1999. Bruno Schulz, a Jewish Pole, was born in Drohobycz in 1892 and died there in 1942. His drawings, prints and fiction are increasingly recognized as major contributions during one of the most complex moments in cultural history. The Editor recommends reading Schulz's Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass (1937), recently republished by Mariner Books. |
