== Life ==
Feist was born and grew up in 1928 in [[Warnsdorf]] in northern Bohemia. His father Georg H. Feist was a surgeon and in 1926 he moved with his wife from Prague to Warnsdorf, where he took over the management of the municipal hospital. His mother, Isolde Feist née Sojka, was a nurse who converted to Lutheranism as a so-called [[half-Jewish]] woman before her marriage in 1923; her father was a wealthy wine and spirits merchant from Reichenberg.<ref>Ulrike Krenzlin: ''Vom Bürger, der sich im Sozialismus verlief - Betrachtungen zur "Rückschau eines Kunsthistorikers" (From the bourgeois who lost his way in socialism - reflections on the "retrospect of an art historian") In Peter Arlt (ed.): ''Künstler, Kunstwerk und Gesellschaft - Gedenkveranstaltung für Peter H. Feist, 8 December 2016.'' Meeting reports Leibniz-Sozietät der Wissenschaften zu Berlin. Volume 132, year 2017.

The mother was later murdered together with her second husband and half-brother in 1944 in [[Auschwitz concentration camp]].

In Warnsdorf Feist attended school and grammar school from 1934 to 1944. His Latin teacher was Rita Hetzer, the later Romance scholar and literary scholar [[Rita Schober]], who was also the reviewer of his [[habilitation]] in 1966 and whose professorial colleague he met in 1968 at the [[Humboldt University of Berlin]]. (HUB) was. As a youth, Feist was still deployed in the last months of the Second World War from 1944 to early 1945 as [[Luftwaffenhelfer]] in [[Malbork]].

After the war the family moved to [[Lutherstadt Wittenberg]]. In 1947 he caught up his [[Abitur]] there and studied [[art history]], history and [[classical archaeology]] and oriental [[archaeology]] at the [[Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg]] (MLU) until 1952. In his diploma thesis he wrote about ''Untersuchungen zur Bedeutung orientalischer Einflüsse für die Kunst des frühen Mittelalters'' (Investigations on the meaning of oriental influences for the art of the early Middle Ages).<ref>''Scientific journal of the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg'', Gesellschafts- und sprachwissenschaftliche Reihe 2, 1952/53, </ref> After his studies he worked at the MLU from 1952 to 1958 as assistant, aspirant, senior assistant and lecturer of [[Wilhelm Worringer]] at the Art History Institute. On 11 March 1958 he received his [[doctorate]] there with the thesis ''Die Stilstruktur von der altorientalischen bis zur romanischen Kunst" (The stylistic structure from ancient oriental to romanesque art). He had been a member of the [[Socialist Unity Party of Germany|SED]] since 1954.

Before he moved with his family to East-Berlin in 1962, he first worked from 1958 as a senior assistant and [[perception]] lecturer at the [[Humboldt University of Berlin]] (HUB). On 14 November 1966, after submitting a [[thesis]] on ''Bereicherung und Begrenzung der Malerei durch den französischen Impressionismus. Ein Beitrag zur Problematik der Kunstgeschichte in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts'' (Enrichment and limitation of painting by French Impressionism.

In 1967 he was appointed as a lecturer, in 1968 as a professor with a teaching position and in 1969 as professor in the Aesthetics and Art Sciences section of the HUB. From 1966 to 1968 he worked as interim director of the Institute of Art History, then until 1973 as deputy director of the Aesthetics and Art Studies Section, and from 1977 as head of the Art Studies Department at this section.

Since 1950 many study trips and conference visits, also lectures and guest lectures in most European countries (including London, Lund, Moscow, Munich, Paris, Prague, Sofia, Stockholm, Uppsala) as well as in Burma, India and the USA. In 1961 his first book on the painter [[Pierre-Auguste Renoir|Auguste Renoir]] was published, also in Polish and Hungarian; in 1987 a revised licensed edition followed in Cologne; the book has been translated into about 20 languages.

From 1982 until his early retirement in mid-1990, Feist was director of the Institute for Aesthetics and Art Studies of the [[Academy of Sciences of the GDR]]. He was a member of the . He retired in 1993. He worked on several books and published reviews and art criticism in daily newspapers.

In 1953, the son Michael Feist was born. He studied chemistry at the HUB from 1971 to 1975, and in 1980, after an aspirancy at the [[Moscow State University]], he became a professor at the University of Halle (MGU) and since then has been working at the HUB again as a [[research assistant]].
