In Anne Marie Hall’s ‘Resting’, a figure falls across the page, salient against plumes of brown, orange, yellow and indigo ink. The artist avoids realism, forging a near abstract figure who is nonetheless absorbing. She is reminiscent of a tadpole – gliding through states and space.
Alongside fellow modernists Joy Hester and Mirka Mora, Hall forged a compelling voice in an otherwise male dominated crowd. She has been collected by The National Gallery of Australia, the Ian Potter Museum and the Geelong Gallery, representing a unique and collectable perspective into Australian modernism. For collectors of mid-century art and female artists, ‘Resting’ is a remarkably beautiful find.
