George Campbell RHA RUA (1917-1979)
Stormy Day, Connemara
Oil on board, 44 x 59cm (17.25" x 23.25")
Signed and dated '59
Painted in 1959. Exhibited at the Ritchie Hendriks Gallery , January 1963.
'There are', said George Campbell, 'underlying abstractions in nature if you consciously look for them and once you begin to recognise them you will see them everywhere.' He went only part of the way to abstraction, however, feeling that 'an abstract must be rich in content; it must have roots no matter how far these roots go. It must have meaning. I am bored by a few simple shapes that convey nothing to me.' Music was vitally important to Campbell, both in terms of his life and his work; he required a rhythm in painting as in everything else. His Irish landscapes display a fascination with underlying patterns and rhythms. Rocks and mountains are seen in planes of colour rather than realistically. He paints specific locations but they are analysed and reassembled, almost tessellated. The landscape is broken down and then re-presented. He was able to look at a landscape and reproduce it with all the unimportant elements eliminated. It was on the natural phenomena of the West of Ireland that he honed his craft. The bleak, desolate terrain of the west entranced him. He spoke in terms of the 'Connemara-tweed landscapes, the Donegal-tweed landscapes', the warp and weft of the landscape. In using paint intuitively he was able to recreate the sharp contrast between the rough-textured areas of rock and stonework, the soft areas of foliage and the smoother areas of sky and water. He would often speak of his delight in handling paint, 'the feel of it and the look if it'. Being self-taught, he never lost the wonder of discovery, seeing colours and textures emerge that he had not seen before. He loved dark tones and evening light. In the West of Ireland he chose to paint by paraffin-lamp feeling that the cross influences of all the shadows made for an arresting painting. In 1978, the year before his death, he recorded a three-part interview for B.B.C. Northern Ireland; its overall title was Triptych, the individual programmes being Spain, Ireland and Painting. In Triptych : Ireland he speaks of 'blacks and browns against pinks and yellows that leap at you from the painting'. It is as though he is seeing things in musical phrases, a form of substitution akin to the sensibilities of the French poet Arthur Rimbaud in his poem Larme :
Then the storm changed the sky, until evening.
There were black lands, lakes and poles

Kenneth Hall, (1913-1946)
Charing Cross Tube Station
Oil on canvas, 51 x 61cm, (20 x 24")
Signed, inscribed with title verso and dated November 21st 1936
Provenance: From the collection of Hall's close friend and gallery owner Lucy Wertheim
Kenneth Hall was born in Surrey but his mother came from Co. Cork. He was mainly self taught as an artist and took up painting seriously in the mid-1930s after meeting his close friend Basil Rakoczi.
Both artists were represented in London by Lucy Wertheim who ran a gallery in London and represented 'The Twenties Group' a group that included Christopher Wood, Barbara Hepworth and Irish artists Norah McGuinness and Elizabeth Rivers. Kenneth Hall had a number of solo shows with her in the late 1930s and his work was included in her mixed exhibitions.
To avoid Conscription Hall and Rakoczi moved to Ireland in 1939 settling first in Delphi, Co. Mayo, and they later moved to Dublin. They formed the 'White Stag' movement and held their first show in Baggot Street in 1940 where they were joined by Mainie Jellett, Nick Nicholls and Georgette Rondel, among others. Hall continued to show with the White Stag Group throughout the war years and also held several solo shows while in Dublin. Tragically Hall who suffered from depression took his own life a few months after leaving Ireland in July 1946.
This work is typical of the work Hall was doing around 1936/7 and was in Lucy Wertheim's own collection. Hall was featured prominently in the "White Stag" show in IMMA Summer / Winter 2005.
