description: He has already acquired the epithet by which history -- and the history of art -- will always know him. Roland Topor, who died in Paris in 1997 at the age of only 59, is known amongst all the celebrated artists of this century as "The Generous" -- Topor, le genereux. A selection of the best pictures from an oeuvre of almost incalculable dimensions has been brought together in this volume. It makes Topor's standing clear, for he leaves the metier of the illustrator far behind him and attains the status of true art as only Alfred Kubin and Saul Steinberg have done.
