Kenneth Hall (1913-1946)
MEDITERRANEAN COVE
oil on canvas
‘K. Hall’ inscribed on reverse; also with ‘Wertheim’ on reverse
20 x 24in. (50.80 x 60.96cm)
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 McGuin-
ness, 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.
