Kenneth Hall (1913-1946)
MEDITERRANEAN COVE
oil on canvas
“K. Hall” inscribed on reverse; also with “Wertheim” on
reverse
20 by 24in. (51 by 61cm)
The location of this scene is possibly Glyfada , Greece or a nearby
coastal village where the artist spent time in the late 1930s.
It is likely that this work formed part of the Lucy Wertheim (1883-
1971) collection and was exhibited at her gallery of the same
name in Albany, London.Wertheim was an avid supporter of
emerging artists in London, many of those who formed part of
the ‘Twenties Group’, such as Hall, Rákóczi, Kitwood and Norah
McGuinness, all of whom benefited enormously from her
patronage and support. Kenneth Hall would later be a key
member of the ‘White Stag’ group in Dublin 1939–1945.
