I have no idea who posted the stuff on Wikipedia. Louis did serve in two different units. Perhaps he served in the first one for 2 years. I’ve got quite a bit of research on Louis that I need to get back to and will be updating the Wikipedia info and hopefully getting a website up again on him and his work. Firebrand, feel free to email me if you’ve got something or are interested in supporting our work at andywbuffalo@yahoo.com

I’m shocked! Shocked to find out that Wikipedia got it wrong. He enlisted in 1940 and was working on terrain models of Normandy prior to the invasion. A bit more than 2 years.

I have three of Dzlugosz’s work that I received from my father who was a contemporary of the artist.
I absolutely LOVE his work!!!! I am so lucky to have these pieces.

I like most of his work, but that sculpture of Lincoln with the holes in his forehead gives me the creeps.

From Wikipedia (I posted it here because of the last two lines):
Louis F. Dlugosz, (1915 – 2002). The sculptor-steelworker’s only formal art training was at the old Art Institute of Buffalo. After serving two years in the U.S. Army, he returned home and launched his career. Using his “pretzel-bending” technique, Dlugosz rolled clay into strips and bent them together for a lattice-work effect, resulting in sculpture with an open rather than a solid interior His work was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Beaux-Arts School and the Louvre in Paris. In 1982, his bust of Lech Walesa – surrounded by bars because the Polish labor leader was jailed by the Communist regime – was blessed by Pope John Paul II in the Vatican. A bust of kidnapped American reporter (Batavia, New York native) Terry Anderson in chains was displayed in a downtown Batavia New York Mall until his release from a Lebanese prison. The chains were smashed by Anderson during a visit to his hometown.

People who do things?
