- Title:
- Hall Richard Pintor [1930s-1960s]
- Scope & Content:
- Description: Richard Hall was a distinguished Argentine painter who specialized in portraits due to his “psychological acuteness.” He was born in Stockholm; his father was an English diplomat and his mother a French lady. He studied in Paris with Jean Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constand. He started to to exhibit and won prices in Sweden, Paris, and London. He also excelled in USA painting representatives of New York’s upper class families such as the Vanderbilts. Hall moved to Buenos Aires in 1915 and, in time, chose the Argentine nationality. He won friends and clients from the elite. However, he also painted other genres such as still life paintings, in particular, flower motifs, intimate and homely sceneries, and landscape. The handmade envelope that has been copied shows his private life behind the canvas, thus, it contains two personal letters to Albert Haynes—owner of the Haynes Publishing Company, and to León Bouché—director of the company’s star magazine El Hogar asking for job, advertising and personal contacts with the distinguished families from Buenos Aires, Mar del Plata, and Rosario. He was an illustrator in the company’s publications, and exhibited in the company’s salons. The handmade envelope contains articles and clippings from major newspapers in Argentina such as La Prensa, La Nación, and the company’s newspaper El Mundo. It contains an art catalogue of his exhibition at the Witcomb Salon plus some of his illustrations and covers published by Columbia, Athéna, Revista del Ferrocarril del Sud (the magazine published by the Southern Railways), and El Hogar. There are a few articles on his death on March 24, 1942. Extent and format of original material: Handmade envelope in bad condition containing two personal letters, newspapers’ and magazines’ articles and clippings, illustrations published in different magazines, and an art catalogue of his exhibition at the Witcomb Salon in the Summer of 1920.
