In the 1960s Feliks Topolski revitalised the ancient art of chronicle with panache and gusto. MICHAL BONCZA looks at the work

Punks, Princes and Protests: The Chronicles of Feliks Topolski
Arch 158 Hungerford Arches / POSK Gallery, London
THERE is a feel of an impromtu informality of an artist’s studio in this show of Feliks Topolski’s sketches and drawings.
They fill the walls so high that accidental neck twisting is a distinct possibility — you have been warned.
But who was Topolski? He arrived in Britain in 1935 as a graphic correspondent of Wiadomosci Literackie/Literary News — Warsaw’s popular socio-cultural weekly — liked it here and just stayed on setting up a studio under one of the arches of the Hungerford Bridge in London where this exhibition is housed.
