Paul Feiler

​Paul Feiler's "St. Buryan, Cornwall" (1955) exemplifies the artist's profound engagement with the Cornish landscape, capturing its essence of through abstract forms and a nuanced palette. 

Feiler's vision was rooted in the understanding that "you stand vertically and you look horizontally," aiming to fulfill Cézanne’s notion that "a picture should give us... an abyss in which the eye is lost." In "St. Buryan," Feiler translates this philosophy onto the canvas, balancing semi-abstraction with a deep sense of spirit of place.
