Anne Marie Hall 'Visage Red, Pink and Blue' - Collected by Sheena & Cam natureAnne Marie Halls Visage, Red Pink and Blue' veers towards abstraction. From an elegant neck rears a smudge of blue, pink and red, a face just discernible in the pigment. Intuitive and energetic, Hall pursues mood over likeness. Somehow, in a melting ice cream cone of paint, Hall finds a compelling portrait. Like Joy Hester and Mirka Mora, Hall forged a compelling female voice in an otherwise male dominated field. Now, collected by The National Gallery
