Trafalgar Square 1973

Curator: Feliks Topolski, born in 1907, captured here the energetic heart of "Trafalgar Square". Editor: It feels like a quick sketch, almost as if Topolski was trying to capture the fleeting energy of the square before it vanished. Curator: Topolski was known for his expressionistic line, a style that reflected the dynamism of modern life in his time. Trafalgar Square, especially, was a hub of public expression. Editor: I see the column and the pigeons, of course. The whole piece feels like it's vibrating. Did he capture a protest, maybe? Curator: Possibly. Topolski’s works often depict public gatherings, reflecting social and political movements. His art served as a visual record of his era. Editor: Well, whatever the cause, it’s got life. I can almost hear the chatter and the flapping of wings. Curator: Indeed, it's a snapshot of a particular moment, but also an enduring image of the square's constant motion. Editor: A beautiful, chaotic dance. Curator: A visual echo of history, perhaps. Editor: Exactly, frozen in ink.
