Artist context

About Paul Feiler

Paul Feiler (1918–2013) was a German-born painter who became one of the prominent figures associated with the St Ives School in Cornwall, England. Born Paul Ludwig Horst Feiler in Frankfurt am Main, he relocated to Britain and developed a distinctive practice rooted in landscape and coastal observation. His work is represented in the Tate collection and other major public galleries internationally. Feiler's painting evolved across several decades, drawing sustained inspiration from the Atlantic coastline of Cornwall — particularly sites around Botallack and Boskenna. He also taught, counting the sculptor Peter Thursby among his students. Feiler is documented in the Bénézit Dictionary of Artists and the Witt Library Checklist of British artists.

Common works and media

Feiler is best known for oil paintings of the Cornish Atlantic coast — rocky shorelines, geological formations, and sea-based compositions. Works titled around Botallack, Boskenna, and Atlantic coastal themes appear frequently. Printmaking is also documented. Collectors may encounter landscape paintings in various scales, from intimate cabinet-sized works to larger gallery-format canvases. Subjects center on coastal geology, evening light, and the interplay of land and sea along the Cornwall peninsula.

Market and appraisal context

Paul Feiler's work appears in the Post-War and Modern British art auction category. His connection to the St Ives School, a movement with strong collector interest, supports his market visibility. Works held by institutions such as the Tate reinforce his standing. When assessing a Feiler painting, collectors and appraisers should consider provenance, date of execution, medium, dimensions, condition, and any exhibition or publication history. Comparable public auction results for St Ives-associated artists of similar period and scale provide useful valuation context. No single auction price should be taken as representative without reviewing a range of recent comparable lots.
