Lot 31: Kenneth Hall (1913-1946) Head with Red Eye Oil on

Kenneth Hall (1913-1946) Head with Red Eye Oil on canvas, 35.5 x 30.5cms (14 x 12'') Provenance: From the estate of Basil Ivan Rákóczi Exhibited: ''The White Stag Group'', Adams Clandeboye, October/November 2011, Adams Dublin January/February 2012, Cat. No. 16 The present work relates to a series of paintings produced in 1942-43. A similar work titled Classical Head c.1942, was included in the 1944 Dublin exhibition Three Painters (Hall, Rakoczi and Patrick Scott). In this exhibition Hall predominately showed impasto paintings in which the outlines are scraped back to the bare canvas. It is quite likely that Head with Red Eye was also included in the 1944 exhibition.
