Artists have often served the cause of peace and used their creativity to reflect on it. Feliks Topolski’s book is such an example. It provides an illustrated chronicle of his attendance to the International Congress of Intellectuals for Peace in Wroclaw, Poland, in 1949. The congress was organized by the Polish authorities and the Soviet Union. Its objective was to undermine what was perceived as American imperialism. The congress also aimed to hinder the West’s nuclear programmes by influencing world opinion. Among the many left-wing attendees were Pablo Picasso, Bertolt Brecht and Aldous Huxley.
