Carl Hall (1921-1996)2022-07-202022-07-20YNGAF97.01https://hdl.handle.net/10177/19473Carl Hall succeeded Constance Fowler on the art faculty at Willamette, teaching at the University from 1948 until 1986. During his first year at Willamette, when he was teaching part time, Hall painted this view of Minto-Brown Island near the Willamette River in Salem. It suggests why a critic for 'Art Digest' described Carl Hall has a 'magic realist:' the meticulous rendering of the grain of the planks, rope, and plants transforms these ordinary details into a heightened, 'magical' state in the manner of Surrealism.JP229" x 41"PaintingOil on canvasFor use information see: http://www.willamette.edu/arts/hfma/collections/copyright.htmlHillsLandscape paintingsLandscapes (Representations)LogsLumberLumber industryOil paintingsPaintingsWaterimage
