Paul Feiler, British 1918-2013 - Aduton GXXXI, 1980; gouache on paper, titled lower left and signed and dated lower right 'Paul Feiler 80', 20 x 20 cm (ARR) Provenance: Private collection purchased from Newlyn Orion Gallery and thence by descent Note: 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. The present work is an example of the artist's mature style that was highly influenced by cosmology and the concept of space, creating minimalist abstracts based on concentric forms and subtle gradations of colour.
