Clifford Hall
HALL, Clifford (1904-1973) Clifford Hall studied at the Royal Academy Schools where he was especially influenced by Walter Sickert. Much of Hall's work bears the stamp of Sickert's palette and subject matter: landscapes, genre scenes and London low life. In the late l920's he lived in Paris, studying with Andre Lhote, where he also shared a studio Augustus John's son, Edwin. He had a one man show at the Beaux Arts Gallery in the mid-1930s, then served with a stretcher party during much of World War II. In l946 he had the first of a number of one-man exhibitions at Roland, Browse and Delbanco. In the late l960s he began a new series of pictures: women wrapped in towels, mysterious with unseen faces. His work is in many public collections in Britain, including the Imperial War Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Arts Council, and collections abroad. A memorial exhibition was held at the Belgrave Gallery in 1977.
