Feliks Topolski R.A.

Feliks Topolski's 'Memoir of the Twentieth Century'

Alan Brien, Punch

"... his giant Memoir, in colour and on a grandiose old masterly scale, quartered in a brick dungeon like a Piranesi engraving, manages to distil the essence and apotheosis of his genius. Reworked and magnified from the thousands of sketches he has created hour by hour during an amazingly eventful career, they are for me one of our Century's great solid achievements."
