Diane Andrews Hall
Diane Andrews Hall (born 1945, Dallas, Texas) is a contemporary visual artist based in San Francisco, California who primarily works in painting and drawing. Her central interest is temporality–transience, motion, and time–that she represents in paintings of oceans, skies, and birds.
After receiving her BFA at Sophie Newcomb College, New Orleans (Tulane University) she attended Boston University for one semester in order to study with Walter Tandy Murch.[1] Upon his untimely death half way through the academic year, she transferred to The Hoffberger School of Painting, The Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore where she received her MFA while studying with Grace Hartigan.[2] In 1969 she moved to San Francisco with Doug Hall[3], whom she had met at the Skowhegan School in Maine and who was attending the Rinehart School of Sculpture at the Maryland Institute while she was at Hoffberger.[4]
On moving to San Francisco in the summer of 1969, Andrews Hall along with Doug Hall and Jody Procter founded the T. R. Uthco Collective (1970-1978).[5] Through the 1970s she directed most of the collective’s performances, both staged and on the street, and took all of the photographs documenting their performances as well as many for their frequent collaborators, Ant Farm.[6]
Several of her works are in the collection of the Berkeley Art Museum[7] - video and photographs done as part of the T. R. Uthco Collective and paintings done after the collective disbanded.[8] In a review appearing in Art Forum, the poet and art writer, Bill Berkson,[9] wrote of how one Andrews Hall’s paintings depicts the light of a storm: “The weather comes parsed in sets of prismatic incident each bearing its load of absence and fullness, rapture and resolve. This is sumptuous conceptual painting.”[10] More recently, the poet/essayist, Lyn Hejinian[11] wrote of her work: “It would be a mistake to refer to Hall’s works as paintings or drawings of the ocean or its waves, or of the sky or clouds, or of birds. She doesn’t depict or represent. Or, rather, activities like depicting and representing are secondary to those she intends, which is seeing.”[12]
