Description
Paul Feiler,
British 1918-2013 -
Mousehole Harbour, 1953;
ink and pencil on paper, signed and dated lower left 'Feiler 53', 13 x 16.8 cm (ARR)
Provenance:
The Collection of Mollie and Graham Dark
Note:
the present work relates to the paintings 'Mousehole Harbour, 1952' and 'Low Tide, Mousehole Harbour, Cornwall, 1953' and demonstrates the artist pairing down the Cornish landscape into abstract form, using a darkened palette. These works were made while the artist was living in Bristol and in the lead-up to his first one-man exhibition at the Redfern Gallery in London.
There is a photocopy of a drawing of two figures attached to the reverse of the frame, possibly an image of the reverse of the work.
Feiler was an important and celebrated artist of the modernist St. Ives School in the latter part of the 20th century, alongside William Scott, Peter Lanyon and Bryan Wynter. He first visited Cornwall in 1949, producing highly abstracted responses to the landscape. Tate St Ives has held two large solo exhibitions of his work in 1995 and 2005.
