Artist

Peter Sheil

Peter Sheil is a Pop art artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Peter Sheil painted a single striking portrait in 1962, Tallulah Bankhead, a seated figure rendered with sharp lines and bold colors. Little else is recorded about Sheil’s life or influences, so this portrait stands as a rare glimpse of his work. The painting shows Bankhead in a dark dress against a lighter background, her posture calm but striking. Tap Tallulah Bankhead to see the brushwork up close.
