Clifford Hall RBA ROI (1904-1973) Teignmouth Pier Oil on board 19x23cm Mid Twentieth Century Here Hall catches the dreaminess of a hazy summer's day on an English beach. Six figures are at the edge of the water, so one can surmise that it is not the warmest of days. The dance hall pictured was a feature of the pier during the 1950s and 1960s. Hall was born in Wandsworth, studying at Richmond Art School under Charles Wheeler and under Stanley Anderson at Putney Art School. This was followed by two years (1925-27)at the Royal Academy Schools on a Landseer Scholarship during which period he undertook portrait commissions to fund his studies. Walter Sickert and Charles Simms were influences. He followed the footsteps of many artists before and since, moving to Paris in 1928 and sharing a studio with Edwin John, the son of Augustus John. He returned to England, painting scenes in Soho and elsewhere during the 1930s. During the Second World War he was a member of a stretcher party near Lots Road and captured the scenes he saw, making submissions independently to the War Artists Advisory Committee, some of which are in the Imperial War Museum. In later life he painted very distinctive portraits of women with hidden faces and swathed in fabric. Following his death, Christies sold the remaining contents of his studio in 1982 and they are to be found in many British institutional collections. He had one-man exhibitions between 1935 and 1977 at the Leicester Galleries, Redfern Gallery, Goupil Gallery, Roland Brose and Delbanco, Athony d'Offay Gallery and Beaux Arts Gallery with the Belgrave Gallery holding his final memorial exhibition.

  • Dans le parc en automne, Paris (In the Park in Autumn, Paris)
    By Jean Francois Raffaëlli
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    This thoroughly modern Parisian scene was composed by the celebrated French painter Jean François Raffaëlli. The delicate oil captures a familiar subject from late 19th-century life in the city: a busy avenue at the edge of a park on a cool autumn day. Exploring the climate of the city, Raffaëlli's mature works capture the energy of the grand parks and boulevards of the new Paris that emerged at the turn of the century. His legacy documents the realities of urban life during his age, all chronicled in his distinctive brushwork and sophisticated palette. While Raffaëlli was never fully accepted as a member of the Impressionist group, his works display a similar affinity for capturing the transient moments of modern life. His figures exude a sense of being suspended in time, as though they are part of some subtle narrative that is both restless and harmonious. Perhaps more aligned with Naturalism than Impressionism, the visual effect of Raffaëlli's composition is one of carefully composed spontaneity that makes manifest the joie de vivre of the age. Raffaëlli was not the only artist of his era to devote his canvases to the urban landscape. Camille Pissarro, Claude Monet, Gustave Caillebotte and others composed significant works on the subject of the urban milieu. On the whole, it was an entirely new kind of painting, and it was largely influenced by the work of social engineer Baron Haussmann beginning in the 1850s. At the request of Emperor Napoleon III, Haussmann designed and carried out a large-scale urban renewal program, erecting landmarks and tree-lined thoroughfares throughout the city to create a unified and socially-centered urban aesthetic. The city became a glittering stage for modern advancements and bourgeois pleasure, which paved the way for a new kind of subject that was eagerly adopted by the Impressionists and artistic avant-garde. Born in Paris in 1850, Raffaëlli first studied theater and music before turning to painting in 1870. That same year, he submitted a landscape painting to the Salon and was accepted. Aside from just three months studying with the Academic great Jean-Léon Gérôme, Raffaëlli was self-trained, developing his own unique style that brought together Realism, Naturalism and Impressionism. While he managed to exhibit works at both the Salon and the Impressionist exhibitions...
