The White Stag group

The White Stag group

The White Stag Group was a group of artists centered around the painters Basil Rakoczi and Kenneth Hall.

Founded in London in 1935, the group moved to Ireland in 1939 and stayed until after the Second World War. Their group philosophy, which they called "Subjectivist Art" was not associated with any particular style or set belief, instead, it encouraged an exploration of psychology and of modernist ideas. They also believed in aesthetic experimention and aesthetics as an objective in art.

The group was at the vangaurd of modern artistic ideas in Ireland, were involved in the Irish Exhibition of Living Art and influenced Patrick Scott, Gerald Dillon and Louis le Brocquy. The Irish composer Brian Boydell, at that time a visual artist, was also a member of the group. The Irish Museum of Modern Art is putting on a White Stag retrospective during the summer of 2005.
