Clifford Hall (painter)

Clifford Hall, ROI, NS, (24 January 1904 – 25 December 1973)[1] was a British painter of street scenes and bohemian life.

[2][3] Clifford Eric Martin Hall was born in Wandsworth, London and spent his youth in Richmond, at Sheen Avenue, then in Mount Arras Road.

[1] In May 1941, an exhibition of Clifford Hall's war drawings, entitled “Bombs On Chelsea”, was held at the Leger Gallery in Old Bond Street, London, W1.

[7] Hall's most distinctive work is from his later life when from the mid-1960s he started to paint portraits of women swathed in towels or other fabric almost from head to toe with the face hidden.

[8] The contents of Hall's studio were sold post-mortem in 1982 by Christie's in London and his paintings were thereby fairly widely distributed.
