The painter Hans Feibusch was born into a nonobservant Jewish home in Frankfurt am Main. After studying in Munich, Berlin, and Paris, he settled in Frankfurt. When the Nazis came to power, he fled to England. The experience of exile strongly influenced his work, as, for example, in his painting 1939. Beginning in the 1940s, he won wide acclaim for his murals in Anglican churches, executing projects in thirty churches in all. In 1965, he was baptized into the Church of England but in his nineties he abandoned Christianity and on his death was buried in a Jewish cemetery.
