“I am, in brief, a landscape painter. All of nature—rocks, trees, mosses, flowers, horizons shifting and darkening or lightening, shore edges, mists, dawns, dusks, reaches of sky and sand, hills and valleys, near and far ridges, gentle or fierce clouds, sunrises and sunsets, and all the color and all the movements and all the stillnesses of canyons and forests are mine for the claiming and taming with a given day, in clear knowledge of that day's light.” -Lee Hall
As a second-generation Abstract Expressionist, Lee Hall’s work was often shown among the first. Hall spoke frequently of her relationship to nature and its various elements that she has used as inspiration. Though abstract, the shapes Hall is inclined to paint are vaguely familiar, roughly geometric though softened with oblique angles and gentle tones. Her palette also hearkens back to the earthy palette used by Picasso and Braque when they worked closely in their cubist phases.
