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.

Reviews for Sheila Fell: Catalogue Raisonné of the Oil Paintings

'Rarely do colour reproductions catch the mood of paintings as well as in this book. It is made exceptionally resonant through the marriage between text and images. The moment you open the pages you enter fully into Sheila Fell's world, and gain fresh understanding.' - Frances Spalding, art historian, cultural historian, biographer and critic 'This is a wonderfully comprehensive illustrated catalogue that brings to life the work of a neglected artist. Illustrating many paintings which have hitherto been unpublished, the accompanying text has been meticulously researched and illuminates the essence of Fell's considerable talents. This is a celebration of a remarkable painter and the Cumbrian landscape that inspired her.' - Frances Christie, Former Deputy Chairman of Sotheby's, UK and Ireland
