Using a predominantly green palette, offset with cooler blues, Feibusch conjures up the lush, rural Cambridgeshire estate of Longstowe Park. This typically English scene betrays nothing of the artist’s émigré origins, except perhaps in the Expressionistic handling of the paint. Born in Frankfurt in 1898, Feibusch first studied medicine before settling in Berlin to study painting at the Academy, afterwards travelling to Italy and studying further in Paris. Returning to Frankfurt, he won the Prussian State Prize for Painting, arising Nazi antagonism. After he settled in England in 1933 his work was displayed in the 1937 ‘Degenerate Art’ exhibition, in which the Nazis highlighted the modernist trends in art that they opposed. Feibusch is best-known for his murals, which included many Church of England commissions, but he later began sculpting after his eyesight failed.
