Norma Bassett Hall

1889-1957

BiographyMost 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. Her interest in woodblock printmaking dated from 1922.

She and her husband moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico where her reputation was established for her block prints of the Southwest, especially New Mexico. Eventually, the couple settled in Alcalde, New Mexico where they continued painting and also opened a summer art school. She began to devote a lot of time to serigraphs of local scenes.
