Norman Hart was born in Utah and was the nephew of Utah's famous artist, John Hafen. Some of Mr. Hart's earliest recollections, and doubtless his first artistic inspirations, originated from "Uncle Johnny's" studio. Norman Hart commenced his art studies under Professor Eastman of the B.Y. University in Provo, Utah. He came to California in later years and continued his studies under such able instructors as Henry L. Richter and Mildred Byant Brooks. Mr. Hart was a versatile artist whose works include etchings, watercolor, oils and life drawing. He was a member of the Spectum Club of Long Beach, the Long Beach Art Association, and the Painters and Sculptors Club of Los Angeles.
