Proceeds to benefit The Polish Museum of America Summer Gala Fund
Starting bid: $1000

I received Paintings and Lithography Masters Degree in Fine Arts from Strzeminski Fine Art Academy.
I have spent almost thirty years traveling into the secret world of visual communication. It isn’t always a pleasant adventure but, I consider myself very lucky. I do what I love.
I have done over thirty individual and group shows in the US and in Europe: Srticoff Fine Art Gallery in New York, Discovery Galleries in Bethesda, Atlas Galleries in Chicago, Vail Fine Art Gallery in Vail, Signature Gallery of Chicago, Triada Gallery in Gdansk, Newbourgh Avenue Gallery in Boston Fingerhut Galleries of California and Breckenridge Fine Art Gallery.
Since this life is the only one given to us, I love to see as many sides of it, as my body and mind can handle… racing bicycle, skiing and sailing… to list a few…
Years ago, I had my adventure with theater and stage production, as well as with motion picture, where I designed the sets…

What and Why?
The Light is my art motto.
It hits many obstacles on the way from its’ source to infinity.
The adventure with The Light is like a story without an end. The nature of it challenges me.
I am not looking for cheap effects; I just follow The Great Wizard who awakens our senses.

Morning

Leon Granacki’s favorite outdoor scenes were of rippling Minnesota streams, towering pine trees, and flocks of Canadian geese. His watercolors were exhibited widely and sold at local art fairs from the 1970s through 1990.

An Artist Goes to War: Leon Granacki in the South Pacific WWII

Like so many others who served in World War II, Leon Granacki was an ordinary guy from a working-class immigrant family drafted into the US Army and thrust into the horrors of war in the South Pacific. But through sheer luck and pluck, he leveraged his art talents to survive and thrive, catapulting himself from private infantryman to Master Sergeant and mapmaker for General MacArthur in the Americal Division’s Intelligence section. Inspired by the Southern Cross as his troop transport crossed the equator, he designed the Americal Division patch for the Army’s only named division, created in New Caledonia. Overseas for three-and-a-half years without any stateside furlough, he labored over maps of enemy positions in a primitive tent in the steamy, mosquito-infested jungles of Guadalcanal and Bougainville.

In An Artist Goes to War, author Victoria Ann Granacki paints a portrait of her father, Leon, through his original maps, jungle watercolors, journal illustrations, scrapbook photos, and letters home to “Dear Gang”—his extended Polish American family crowded together in a Chicago “six-flat” apartment building. Despite only slyly alluding to awful conditions to evade the censors’ scissors, his indomitable optimism always comes through. The Polish-language letters directed to his beloved parents are filled with childlike tenderness as he tries to reassure them he’ll be safe. His plaintive longings for family, holidays home, fishing, and a woman to love are poignant reminders of the personal effects of war on reluctant soldiers.
