Full Description
Sheila Fell (1931-1979) was one of the most talented British artists of her generation: a figurative painter with a singular and powerful vision of the Cumbrian landscape of her childhood. Here, for the first time, the full breadth of her artistic achievement is recorded in a catalogue raisonné of her paintings.
The book features 471 expertly researched catalogue entries alongside a substantial art-historical narrative that charts Fell's entire career and provides unique insights into the artist's background, inspirations, technique and legacy. As such, and in the context of the dearth of recent literature on the painter, this invaluable resource will stand as the definitive publication on Sheila Fell for many years to come.
