In reading it, one does not gain a very favourable impression: it is heavy, the story is told in detail, in the German manner, it is therefore unnecessarily wordy at the expense of dramatical qualities and quick action.

Kenneth Hall, British 1913-1946 - Untitled (Yellow figure), c.1942; oil on canvas, signed lower right 'Hall', 40.7 x 29.3 cm (unframed) (ARR) Provenance: the Estate of Basil Rakoczi Note: this piece was probably painted by the artist around 1942 when he was living in Dublin. He was experimenting with different forms and looking to develop a technique of painting that reflected the sense of expressionism and symbolism that he and Rakoczi were experimenting with. At times a troubled figure he sometimes viewed the world as amorphous and shifting, nothing clearly defined. This chimed with his intellectual view on society as needing to move to a natural state of anarchy. Basil Rákóczi (19081979) and his partner, Kenneth Hall (19131946), founded The White Stag Group of modernist artists in 1935. Influenced by Surrealism and founded in London, they moved to Ireland in late 1939, following the start of the Second World War. There the Group flourished, gaining both local and continental members, including Nano Reid and Patrick Scott. Rakoczi and Halls work brought modernism to Dublin and they gained a sizeable and positive reputation for their work, which focused on psychological states and esoteric myth and symbols. Instrumental to both artists careers, was the influential dealer Lucy Wertheim, who ran a celebrated gallery in Mayfair during the 1930s, one of the spaces focused on young artists working in a Modern idiom. Wertheim promoted major figures such as Barbara Hepworth, Christopher Wood, Frances Hodgkins and Henry Moore at an early age, but she is perhaps most known for her support of a diverse group of lesser known artists, many of whom worked in either expressionistic or faux-naïve styles. An exhibition of Wertheims legacy 'A Life in Art & Reuniting the Twenties Group' was recently on display at Towner Eastbourne, UK, including works by both Hall and Rákóczi in 2022.
