Norma Bassett Hall (1889 - 1957) Original Serigraph, created circa 1940's. Pencil titled lower left “Sanctuario.” Pencil signed lower right. Measures 12 x 15 ½ inches. Sheet size is 14 5/8 x 17 3/4 inches. In very good condition consistent with age. The woodblock presents in a 2 ply 20 x 24 inch museum mat. Most remembered as a 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 in Oregon, and took her first art lessons at the School of the Portland Art Association. In 1915, she enrolled at the Art Institute of Chicago, graduating in 1918. There she met her future husband, Arthur William Hall, who was also a student there. 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 making block prints. Around 1926, Norma learned the Japanese woodcut print method on rice paper involving transparent watercolors from Mable Royds. Using this approach exclusively, Hall printed with as many as six or seven colors, each requiring a separate handcut woodblock. 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.

Impressive watercolor by California Abstract Impressionist, Robert McChesney (1913-2008). The painting is in excellent condition and measures 21 x 15 inches. The frame is 31 x 24.

This beautiful, limited edition original color woodblock is by the famous Showa Shin Hanga woodblock master Clifton Karhu (1927-2007). It bears the original frame and has a label on the back from a Tokyo gallery. The work is a beautiful impression with rich color. It and the frame are in excellent condition. The print measures 16 x 16 inches. The frame is 23 ½ x 23 ½ inches. It is numbered lower left as AP5 - Artist Proof #5 and is pencil signed and dated ‘74 lower right. An American of Finnish descent, Clifton Karhu was born in Minnesota in 1927. Raised together with his twin brother Raymond, Karhu was the son of painters Arne and Anna Karhu. After his graduation in 1946 he served in the military at an American Navy base in Japan. Returning to America following his military service in 1950, Karhu enrolled at the Minneapolis School of Art but quit two years later to pursue missionary work as a Lutheran minister. Karhu left the missionary work in 1958 and chose to move his new family to Gifu City, a small provincial town northwest of Kyoto, Japan where he set about returning to his art. Karhu soon found local success in 1961; obtaining first prize at the Chubu Taiheijo Bijutsu Kyokai Ten (The Middle Pacific Art Group Exhibition) and fixing his first single, professional exhibition at the Shin Gifu Gallery. In hopes of providing their three children with an international education, Karhu settled in Kyoto in 1963. The next few years proved heavily influential in Karhu’s work. Arguably forming the foundation for all his future success, Karhu found tutelage under recognized woodblock artist and gallery owner Tetsuo Yamada and colour theorist Stanton Macdonald-Wright. Responsible for shifting Karhu’s artistic doubts, Karhu proceeded to fulfill a very successful career in woodblock printing - carving his own works largely by himself. Clifton Karhu passed away in 2007 after an illustrious career that saw him viewed and celebrated as a local Kyoto celebrity, as well as having exhibited widely in many countries around the world. His woodblock prints have been collected by many famous museums including the Tokyo Modern Art...

Titled “Girl with Irises” (Awame To Shojo). Okiie Hashimoto (1899–1993) was a Japanese artist and educator. Best known as part of the postwar revival of the sosaku-hanga (Creative Prints) movement. In 1936, he began creating woodblock prints after he attended a workshop organized by prominent sosaku-hanga artist Un’ichi Hiratsuka and began creating woodblock prints. In his prolific career in printmaking, he was known for an innovative use of simplified and decorative forms that exude a modern feel. In his lifetime, his achievements were rewarded with his appointment to the president of the Japan Print Association (1974–79) and his invitations to the prestigious international prints biennales in Tokyo (1957, 1970, 1972) and Lugano (1972). In 1921, he began a three-year teacher's training course at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts (the present Tokyo University of the Arts), graduating in 1924. In Tokyo, aside from the art teacher education courses, he received training in a wide variety of practices, including yoga (Western-style painting), nihonga (Japanese-style painting), sculpture, design, etching and lithography, crafts, and calligraphy. In 1955, he began to pursue a career as an artist full-time. As for influences, Hashimoto cited Hiratsuka, Henri Matisse, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, Kanji Maeda, and Masao Maeda...
