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.
Professor (John) Andrew Bradley and Dr Eleanor Bradley have catalogued Fell's work for Sotheby’s, Bonham’s and Cheffin’s auction houses. While researching the work of Sheila Fell they have published several articles on the artist. As medical and science specialists, they enjoyed distinguished careers in the field of organ transplantation surgery and research before turning their attentions to their long-held interest in modern British art.
