TOPOLSKI'S PARIS LOST 1930s Sketches


It's not cartoons, but it's some great work ....

If you're in the vicinity of the British Museum this weekend, drop by the Abbott and Holder Gallery to look at these wonderful inky sketches by Felikz Topolski. The exhibit, titled PARIS LOST: Drawings from the 1930s by Felikz Topolski R.A. (1907-1989), runs from July 5th until July 31st.

A big thanks to Claude H. for emailing me about this. I didn't know of Mr. Topolski's work until seeing at the above Web site. Just some wonderful, loose sketching. Really makes me wish I could wander over and peek at them in person.
