ABSTRACT
Born into a Jewish family, Bruno Schulz would have normally needed to wear the Star of David on his outer garments, whenever he exited outside. However, due to his artistic skills he avoided this. The individual is not seen as a closed off subject but rather as a degree of intensity that is constantly in composition with other intensities. Even though Schulz was highly influenced by Judaism, he was still a secular man and there are many testimonies that confirm that he considered himself to be, first and foremost, a Pole. Studying the mural adds layers of complication: the work has been destroyed, fragmented and it cannot be viewed in one place in its entirety, as some parts are in Israel and some remain in the Ukraine. The Schulz mural was created in the course of employment or under commission.
