Description

Paul Feiler: A Life of Art and Spirituality The paintings of Paul Feiler (1918-2013) were deeply rooted in his connection with the English landscape, particularly the rugged coast of south-west Cornwall. His friend Peter Lanyon once described Feiler's early works as providing a sense of 'calm and pause', allowing him to achieve a meditative serenity in his art. Feiler's vision was guided by a unique understanding of space, which he sought to convey through the use of narrow bands of colour, silver, and gold in a pattern of square and circle. Over more than forty years, he developed this style, drawing on his own experiences and spiritual pursuits. This book offers a comprehensive look at Feiler's life and career, based on full access to his archive of letters, catalogues, and photographs. Michael Raeburn provides a detailed account of how Feiler overcame early challenges to create a deeply personal and spiritual body of work. A valuable resource for those interested in the history of modern British painting, this book sheds new light on an important figure in the development of contemporary art.
