Artist Stanislav Szukalski was once considered Poland’s greatest living artist in the 1930s, but he left for the US after the Nazis invaded, where he lived in a Chicago slum apartment.
There, he developed the theory of Zermatism, the belief that humans evolved on Atlantis, which was in the Pacific and around Easter Island, and that humankind is forever locked in battle with descendants of Yeti who raped human women, known as the Yetisyny (Sons of the Yeti), who are responsible for all evil on earth. He drew world leaders to show they had Yeti ancestry and features.
Much like his fellow Chicagoan, outsider artist and eccentric, Henry Darger, most of Szukalki’s theory of Zermatism (over 40,000 pages!) remains unpublished, except a small part in a great collection, Behold!!! the Protong.
Just like with Henry Darger, the line between original thinker, eccentric, creative, and crazy person are all blurred. He’s startlingly original, weirdly beautiful, and creative.
“The fact that humans have syphilis is due to rapes by these Pans, and all the wart-nosed Greek philosophers, the pot-bellied, waddling pygmoids, were actually descendants of such interspecies bastardy … It is of the utmost importance to know that our Human Destiny is afflicted with the greatest calamities (like the two World Wars) because our HUMAN female ancestors were raped by the Apes, the Yetis, the Sasquatches, and our male forefathers copulated with female anthropoids.”
