Anne Marie Hall’s ‘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 of Australia, the Ian Potter Museum and Geelong Gallery, her absence in the canon of Australian art is being redressed. For collectors of modern art, experimental portraits and female artists, ‘Visage, Red, Pink and Blue' is a head not to be lost.
