Portrait of a Young Girl Still Lifes Feliks Topolski RA (1907-1989)

Feliks Topolski RA (1907-1989)

While poverty drove him to paint it also held him back

There is so much life in this painting

Both beautifully rendered and so redolent of 1930s America

at the Battersea Affordable Art Fair

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.
