    From 1946 to 1964, Hall served as the Fine Arts and Monuments Adviser to the U.S. Department of State’s Office of International Information and Cultural Affairs, whose office had assumed the duties of the recently disbanded Roberts Commission. A relentless advocate for the return of looted works of art, she remarked in 1951, “For the first time in history, restitution may be expected to continue for as long as works of art known to have been plundered during a war continue to be rediscovered.
