    • William Weeks Hall (American/Louisiana)
      Nov. 23, 2019

      William Weeks Hall (American/Louisiana)

      Est: $12,000 - $18,000

      William Weeks Hall (American/Louisiana, 1894-1958), "After Rain/Louisiana Landscape", oil on canvas, signed, titled, inscribed "New Iberia, La" and "The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Annual Exhibition in Oil and Sculpture 1934" exhibition label with artist and title on stretcher, 36 in. x 29 3/4 in., framed.Note: William Weeks Hall was a prominent artist, art critic, photographer, gardener and lecturer, and he was the last private owner of Shadows-on-the-Teche, his family home located on Bayou Teche in New Iberia, LA. Hall won a scholarship in 1913 to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, where he was a student until 1918. He also studied abroad in London and Paris from 1920 to 1922, following his service in World War I. Hall became the sole owner of the Shadows at the age of twenty-five, and the remainder of his life, with only brief interruption, was spent restoring and preserving the property. Shadows-on-the-Teche was built by Hall’s great-grandfather, David Weeks, in the 1830s, and Hall used family papers and a complete set of construction records to restore the home to its original appearance, including an extensive period garden. He often invited famous writers, artists and filmmakers for weekend visits to the Shadows, and several movies were filmed on site. When Hall died in 1958, he bequeathed the home to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Hall’s coveted paintings are rarely offered at auction, particularly those with such an outstanding exhibition history and provenance. “After the Rain/Louisiana Landscape” was once owned by Hunt Henderson, the noted New Orleans art collector who inherited the Henderson Sugar Refinery that his father had founded in 1876. Henderson, his wife Jeanne, and his son Charles, lived at 1410 Second Street and were known for their collection of nineteenth and twentieth century art. Hunt and Jeanne Henderson were both trustees of the Isaac Delgado Museum, and Henderson’s sister, Sarah Fink Henderson, was also a financial supporter and served as president of the Arts and Crafts Club of New Orleans. As Hall both exhibited at the Delgado Museum in 1928 and taught classes at the Arts and Crafts Club, it is not at all surprising that the Hendersons would have purchased works by Hall, one of the most talented Louisiana artists of the twentieth century.
