Street Scene, Amsterdam
Hall studied art at the Royal Academy Schools, and later in Paris. He was a portrait, figure and landscape painter whose work, particularly in its use of warm but sometimes sombre colours, echoes the paintings of the Camden Town Group in London at the beginning of the century, and the Euston Road Group in the late 1930s and 40s. He also shares their interest in themes of everyday life, particularly evident in the work of artists like Malcolm Drummond (1880-1945) and Walter Sickert (1860-1942) in themes of everyday life. His figures, stylised and simple, bear a similarity to those painted by Lawrence Stephen Lowry (1887 1976).
