Elizabeth Norton: An important California printmaker,
painter and sculptor, Elizabeth Norton studied at the Art Institute of
Chicago, the Art Students' League of New York and at the National Academy
of Design. She moved to California in 1915 and was a founding member of
the Palo Alto Art Club (now the Pacific Art League). She was also a full
member of the California Society of Etchers, California Print Makers,
Prairie Print Makers, the Woodcut Society and the Federation of American
Arts. During her career, Elizabeth Norton exhibited with these institutions as well
as at the Golden Gate Exposition, San Francisco (1939), California State
Library (1942), the National Academy of Design (1942), and at Stanford
University (1950). Her prints are now included in such major collections
as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, Yale University,
the Fogg Museum of Art, Boston, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Natural
History Museum of New York, the Smithsonian Institute, and the Library
of Congress, Washington DC. |

Whether in sculpture, painting or printmaking, Elizabeth
Norton was equally accomplished in landscape, figure studies, portraits
and still lifes. One of her greatest passions, however, was in the field
of animal art. As a young girl in Chicago she spent many hours sketching
at the zoo in Lincoln Park. As a mature artist some of her finest original
prints lovingly portray birds, cats, various primates and, most especially,
dogs and horses. |
