I rish & I nternational A rt M onday 21 st O ctober 2019 at 6.00 pm 19 10 Kenneth Hall (1913-1946) Still Life signed lower right mixed media on paper 48 x 62cm (19 x 24.5in) Provenance: Private Collection €1,000-1,400 (£884-1,238) An exceptionally crisp, decisive still life by one of the two main artists (with Basil Rákóczi) of the White Stag movement. The White Stag was in general open to Surrealism and other modern developments, though Hall was in essence a relatively traditional, if audacious, painter of the environments and subjects close to him, usually with a feeling for narrative and incidental detail. Largely forgotten for many years, the importance of the White Stag group has been increasingly appreciated in the last ten years or so.
