About the Item
Lee Hall (1934-), Connecticut Summer Fragments, a portfolio of watercolor, 29 in all, each about 5 ¼ x 7 ¼ inches, on hand made paper attached to a backing, in a portfolio with board covers (also with a stained colored paper), folding out as a concertina; signed, dated (1978) and titled on the cover (Connecticut Summer Fragments), inscribed to Edith and Lloyd Goodrich. In excellent condition.
A beautiful collection of rare stained watercolors. Hall, a New York Abstract Expressionist artist, was a friend of many artists, including Helen Frankenthaler (whose stained paintings are related to these works).
Unfortunately the mica powder throughout does not show in the illustrations but this is an important aspect of the works - it relates both to the beach/seascape feel (glistening sand and sea) and to the Japanese tradition (since the end of the 18th century) of putting mica powder in the inks of woodblock prints. The booklet format which we call concertina is also a traditional format in Japan known as Orihon and Hall's use of mica in the colors could perhaps be a conscious association.
A painter and professor, Lee Hall served as dean of Visual Arts at the State University of New York/Purchase before being appointed president of Rhode Island School of Design (whose Museum collection contains a number of Hall’s stained watercolors). Hall maintained a painting studio at her farm in Lyme, CT and frequently exhibited her paintings at the Betty Parsons Gallery in NYC, where she became a partner after resigning from RISD in 1983. She also wrote a biography of Parsons (as well as a biography of Elaine and William de Kooning).
Lloyd (1897-1987) and his wife Edith Havens Goodrich were distinguished art historians and curators; he served as Director of the Whitney Museum of American Art from 1958-68.
