The paintings of Paul Feiler (1918-2013), the focus of this first
survey of the artist's life and career, were inspired by the
English landscape, particularly the cliffs and inlets of the coast
of south-west Cornwall. For his friend Peter Lanyon, Feiler's early
works provided him with a sense of 'calm and I mean a sense of
pause...To achieve that repose in the landscape I know one has to
suffer the opposite.' Feiler's vision was based on the
understanding that 'you stand vertically and you look
horizontally'; through this he aimed to fulfil Cezanne's
requirement that 'a picture should give us...an abyss in which the
eye is lost.' He moved from painterly abstraction to an exploration
of the elusive nature of space through the effects of narrow bands
of colour, silver and gold in a pattern of square and circle, which
he varied and developed over more than forty years. Based on full
access to the artist's archive of letters, catalogues and
photographs, Michael Raeburn describes how Feiler overcame many
painful early experiences to achieve the meditative serenity of his
deeply spiritual work. For all those interested in the history of
modern British painting, this is a much-needed resource.
