He emigrated to England in 1933 after the Nazi Party gained control of Germany. Here he joined the London Group of Artists in 1934, and married Sidonie Cramer in 1935. He has been responsible for several public murals, the first was\u00a0\u00a0 called \u2018The Footwashing, which was commissioned for the New Methodist Hall in Colliers Wood in 1937. Feibusch swore an oath of allegiance to the British crown in 1940. His works were first exhibited at the Royal Academy in the summer of 1944.<\/p>\n
After the war, Feibusch became renowned for church artistry, his work being used in about 30 churches throughout England. A selection of examples are Chichester Cathedral, St. Alban the Martyr in Holburn, St. Elisabeth\u2019s Eastbourne, St. Wilfred\u2019s Brighton, St. Mark\u2019s Coventry, and of course St. Sidwell\u2019s Exeter. The mural at St. Sidwell\u2019s Church, painted in 1958, is on the east wall and is now covered over. On the first floor there are now flats, and on the ground floor there is now a kitchen. At this level the mural is protected by metal plates. Below is a pencil drawing for Christ in Glory.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”859″ img_size=”medium”][vc_single_image image=”861″ img_size=”medium” title=”Hans Feibusch”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Examples of non-religious work by Feibusch are in civic buildings in Dudley and Newport.
