Yankel Feather
Marat

1995

About the Item

Oil on canvas, signed and dated (lower right), 102cm x 102cm, (109cm x 109cm framed) Yankel Feather was a British painter, and a member of the Liverpool Academy of Arts and the Newlyn Society of Artists. Paintings by Feather are in the public collections of the Royal Pavilion and the Walker Art Gallery. He was an expressionist painter. His early works were more formal, and in later works Feather's style became more expressive and changed as he began painting from memory. His subject matter included still lifes, populated scenes of Liverpool dance halls, and seascapes of his St Ives period. This painting is a contemporary take on the Neo-classical masterpiece ‘The Death of Marat’ by Jacques-Louis David (French 1748-1825). Feather found love with two long-term partners late in life. He met Bill King whilst living in Cornwall. King died in 1993 from a heart attack. Terry Arbuckle shared his studio home at Hove in Brighton. He expressed his sexuality in a series of simplified linear paintings which show an anonymous and austere outline absent from other paintings.
