Feliks Topolski RA (1907-1989)

While poverty drove him to paint it also held him back

What caught a number of dealers’ eyes were the student works

Portrait of a Young Girl Still Lifes Feliks Topolski RA (1907-1989)It is a wonder to me that the artist of this highly accomplished little portrait cannot be found listed anywhere. It does happen occasionally but short of the painter using a pseudonym to dodge a gallery contract as often happened or a joker adding their name for some spurious reason, Im at a loss. Anyway courtesy of an American dealer friend and a bit of TLC from our professional restorers here she is, an anonymous 1950s beauty with no past.
