‘Cat-Eyed Man’ catches your eye. In it, Anne Marie Hall paints a figure with yellow eyes and a green blouse. His identity is unknown but presence is undeniable. Like a cat at night, his eyes glow against black, commanding the viewer’s attention.
Like Joy Hester and Mirka Mora, Hall forged a compelling voice in an otherwise male dominated field. That her career was at times overshadowed by her marriage to artist John Perceval is a testament to the era’s issues with gender parity. Now, collected by The National Gallery of Australia, the Ian Potter Museum and Geelong Gallery, her absence is being redressed.
Beautifully rendered, ‘Cat-Eyed Man’ is a catch for collectors of modern art.
