Not An Ordinary Artist

In my historical fiction book, a young Polish artist named Florian Durzynski immigrates by himself to the U.S. in 1929, but despite being embraced by Chicago’s Polish community and being hired by the Works Progress Administration to create murals for the Chicago public schools, Florian still searches for a home for his heart.

  1. Dear Ms. Tanzer,

    I am near completion of your book Graven Images while dreading it is coming to an end. This book is excellent!

    I feel like a fly on the wall witnessing Augusta Savage’s life experiences as she lived them.

    Thank you for this wonderful work honoring Augusta Savage!

  2. I am so glad that you enjoyed Graven Images, my book about Augusta Savage. It is nice that you took the time to tell me that. If you would like to read about the subject of my newest book, Florian Durzynski, that is also available on Amazon. The name of the book is Not An Ordinary Artist. It will take you to life in Chicago from 1929-1949 and the art of a Polish immigrant who accomplished much but had his share of artistic and personal challenges.
