NORMA BASSETT HALL (1889-1957) RARE COLOR WOODBLOCK
Est: $1,000 - $2,000
Norma Bassett Hall (1889-1957) Old Sycamore 1941-1942 The fine and scarce pencil signed color woodblock print circa 1941 is signed by the artist in pencil below the image lower right and titled lower left. Though this image is from a stated edition of 100 prints, very few are known to exist. There are more in museum collections than have ever appeared at auction. In fact, only one auction record could be found, the same print appearing twice at the same auction house, once in 2011, and again in 2012. One other example was found listed as sold on the web site of a print dealer in Michigan. It appears to be the same print now held in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Norma Bassett Hall color woodblocks are not common. Examples in fine condition are even more uncommon, due to the prevalence of acidic mounts in the first half of the 20th century, and the medium's sensitivity to environmental factors. This is a very rare image in outstanding condition. Image measures 13.5 x 11, sheet is 15.75 x 13, and frame is 22 x 19 inches. Without proof of exemption, be aware that internet sales tax applies to all Internet transactions and local sales tax may apply to local pick-up transactions.

NORMA BASSETT HALL SERIGRAPH
Est: $750 - $1,000
NORMA BASSETT HALL (American 1889-1957) Aspen and Spruce Color serigraph Signed in pencil by artist lower right and titled lower left 11 inches x 13 inches Most remembered as a woodblock printmaker and one of the founding members of the Prairie Printmakers, Norma Bassett Hall was the only woman member of that group and the only one to establish a reputation exclusively with color prints. She was born and raised in Halsey, Oregon, and took her first art lessons at the School of the Portland Art Association, where she studied for three years. After graduation, she gave private art lessons. In 1915, she enrolled at the Art Institute of Chicago, graduating in 1918. There she was an assistant teacher for one year and met her future husband, Arthur William Hall, who was also a student there. In 1920, she returned to Oregon where she opened a studio in Portland and taught in a high school. Two years later she and Arthur were married. Her interest in woodblock printmaking dated from 1922 when she was on a Cannon Beach, Oregon honeymoon trip with Arthur. The couple decided to make a pictorial visit of their trip by copying block prints from a book, and she saw what she described as the "real possibilities" of block printmaking. She used the Oriental method, which is the mixing of dry color with water and rice-flour paste. She had a residency in Kansas in 1923, and furthered her interest and skills in color block prints. The Halls became active in a group of central Kansas artists which included several well-known printmakers including Birger Sandzen, C.A. Seward, and Charles Capps. It was during these early years in Kansas that Bassett Hall explored the artistic possibilities of woodblock printing using opaque, oil-based inks. In 1942, the couple moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico where her reputation was established for her block prints of the Southwest, especially New Mexico. After a short time, the couple settled in Alcalde, New Mexico where the couple continued painting and also opened a summer art school. She began to devote a lot of time to serigraphs of local scenes and also did watercolors. The subjects of the totality of her work reflect the wide travels of the Halls and include Kansas farm scenes, Oregon landscapes, European scenes and New Mexico pueblos.
