Essay

Feiler was born in Frankfurt and settled in Cornwall in the early 1950s. He drew in coastal villages, such as Mousehole, Porthleven and Newlyn (depicted), where the small harbours provided arenas within which to interpret the interlocking of man- made forms with the natural environment. Feiler was interested in how ‘there
was no horizontal as far as the sea ending and the sky beginning was concerned, and there were these physical things floating about in the middle of nowhere, as silhouettes against the sky.’ In this painting, planes of densely applied paint establish a structured composition, dominated by modulations of white that evoke the quality of Cornish light.
