Born in 1907 in Poland Topolski settled in England in 1935 and became a British subject in 1947. In 1936 he became a regular feature contributor to "Night and Day" along with Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh and illustrated Shaw's "In Good King Charles' Days". During the Second World War Topolski was appointed an Official War Artist recording not only life on the home front but also the war in Europe and the East. Many of his works of the period are in the Imperial War Museum and were reproduced in "Illustrated London News" and "Sketch".
Topolski is an individualist and his work belongs to no particular school. He has developed his own very personal style - vigorous sweeping enthusiastic - which lends itself to conceptions on a grand scale. Topolski is the artist chronicler of our time. In "Topolski's Chronicle" in illustrations of many books such as George Bernard Shaw's "Geneva" and his own "Topolski's Legal London" in portraits of the world's great statesment writers and public figures and in vast murals for public and private buildings throughout the world he has created a visual record of the world we live in and the people who have influenced it for over three decades.
Exhibitions of Topolski's work have been held in galleries in every part of the world. Topolski has worked with many television companies and he has illustrated over twenty books.
