Frederick Hall |
(English, 1860 -1948 ) |
Frederick Hall was born in Yorkshire in 1860. He studied at the Lincoln School of Art, later furthering his studies in Antwerp. It was at Antwerp that he befriended Frank Bramley and William Longsdail and this was the catalyst that led him to become a member of the Newlyn School from 1883, where he practised plein-air painting with Stanhope Forbes, Bramley and others.
During the 1890s he spent less time in Newlyn, painting instead around Porlock on the Somerset coast. There he painted subjects that were more overtly social realist in content, with titles like Adversity. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, the New English Art Club, the Fine Art Society and the Paris Salon, where he won a gold medal. |
