![Image has been digitally retouched.SZYK AS A RENAISSANCE MAN. Between the 14th and 16th centuries, the Age of the Renaissance saw a world awakening from the plagues of superstition and feudalism. After a long period of economic stagnation came financial growth, along with a fresh start to artistic, social, and scientific advancements. A long-suppressed freedom of thought was unleashed on the world. There seems always to exist in times of stupendous change an extraordinarily prescient observer who is able to link the old and the modern, one who makes sense of their interdependence and the manner in which one builds upon the other. These are the writers, the scholars, the artists of civilization. Szyk’s life and work are ample proof that he himself was one of these unique individuals.

The man is paused in the writing of an enigmatic poem that seems to bend time. Like Leonardo Da Vinci, this visionary sees beyond the confines of his own civilization and into the mysterious brilliance of the future.The poem, written in modern German, likely echoes Syzk’s own approach, in his own words, to modernity:Today does beauty leap over the mortal remains of the dead?Does the human bird [airplane] rattle in clear heights and drown out the primary groans of death merely to envy the multi-co](https://calbizjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/5.-The-Scribe_2-1-206x275-crop.jpg)
