Est: $120 - $200
Feliks Topolski United States, Poland, England, (1907 - 1989) Nubar Sarkis Gulbenkian ink on paper Signed lower middle. Biography from the Archives of askART: Feliks Topolski was born on 14 August 1907 in Warsaw, Poland. He studied in the Warsaw Academy of Art, and trained as an artillery officer. Later he studied and worked in Italy and France, and eventually he moved to Britain in 1935 after being commissioned to record King George V's silver jubilee. He opened a studio near Waterloo station, which later became an exhibition and then a café-bar featuring his art. He married twice, first to Marian Everall and then Caryl J. Stanley. In 1939 the George Bernard Shaw plays In Good King Charles's Golden Days and Geneva were published with illustrations by Topolski, bringing his work to a wide audience in the UK. During the Second World War, Topolski became an official war artist and painted scenes of the Battle of Britain and other battlefields. In 1941, Topolski traveled to Russia alongside the men of 151 Wing RAF on board the RMS Llanstephan Castle, which was sailing to the port Archangelsk as part of Force Benedict, a mission to provide air support in defense of the port of Murmansk. Topolski was travelingas an accredited War Artist for both Polish and British governments. He was also under contract to Picture Post magazine, which published many of his drawings after his return. After the war he made a celebrated painting about the first meeting of the United Nations. In 1947 he gained British citizenship. Topolski's experiences were initially captured in pencil and ink drawings. These were the first stage of his prolific Chronicles, which appeared fortnightly from 1953 to 1979, interrupted only to accommodate his exploratory investigations across the globe. The Chronicles communicated his art and observations to a wider audience. They were independently published, without advertisements or subsidies. Since his death in 1989 Topolski's Chronicles have retained respect as a pictorial and political record spanning nearly 30 years of world history. The Chronicles contain 3,000 drawings, and were exhibited in New York City, Moscow, Cologne, Hamburg, Hawaii, Tel Aviv and serialized in the United States, Poland, Italy, Denmark and Switzerland. As Joyce Carey wrote, it is "the most brilliant record we have of the contemporary scene as seized by a contemporary mind." In 1959, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh commissioned Topolski to create a mural depicting the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The mural contains 14 friezes divided into two narratives; one narrative; entitled 'In The Streets' shows various processions to Westminster Abbey, while the second, entitled 'In The Abbey', depicts the procession out of the Abbey after the coronation. Topolski painted portraits of contemporaries, including the authors H. G. Wells, Graham Greene, John Mortimer and Evelyn Waugh, and politicians Harold Macmillan and Aneurin Bevan. He also painted murals, contributed to BBC programs, such as the caricatures of guests used in Face to Face and designed theatrical sets. Between 1975 and his death he worked on a 600 foot mural in a studio in railway arches near London's South Bank, depicting events and people of the 20th century. It opened to the public as a free permanent exhibition called Topolski Century. In 2014 it was re-opened as a café-bar called Topolski, featuring his art. In 1989 he was elected a senior Royal Academician as a draughtsman. Feliks Topolski died in London on 24 August 1989 at the age of 82. He is buried in Highgate Cemetery , north London. He had a daughter, Theresa, and a son, Daniel a rower who captained and coached Oxford in the Boat Race. Information provided by Ralph Blunt

§ Feliks Topolski RA (1907-1989) England offset lithograph, unframed 116 x 46cm Born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1907, Feliks Topolski became renowned during his lifetime for his myriad depictions of British pageantry. Initially travelling to London in 1935 to document the state funeral of King George V, Topolski was immediately drawn to bustling city life and in 1958 became a naturalised British citizen. Following a number of Royal commissions, including a large-scale mural produced to celebrate the Queens coronation, the present lot, which depicts two guardsmen, was produced in 1977 to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Intended to be part of a window display for Selfridges, Topolski produced 500 of these lithographic prints, however, the project was abandoned before exhibition. Fortunately, several prescient employees rescued around 100 of these posters bound for destruction it is believed that around 25 examples have survived.

Jean Tunney, very American, a course man who never says yes, but says yeh', 250 x 190 mm (10 x 7 1/2 ins), mount aperture, period frame, glazed QTY: (1) NOTE: An unlikely friendship developed between George Bernard Shaw and the boxed Jean Tunney, following the latter's defeat of heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey, Shaw held a luncheon at his London home for the boxer and his wife, attended by literary figures of the day including H. G. Wells, in December 1928. the following spring Shaw was invited to the Island of Brioni off the Italian coast to join Tunney where they witnessed a miracle. Tunney's wife Polly was struck with an appendicitis and was close to death when Tunney kneeled down to pray. Two german doctors, both by the name of Meyer suddenly appeared on the Island, one an appendix surgeon. They operated immediately and her life was saved. Shaw was deeply impressed by the apparent power of prayer, something which affected his religious beliefs thereafter.
