Archive Label 1999: The silent stillness of a heavy blanket of snow is evoked in this etching of a Kansas farm. This scene is likely from around the Halls' homes at either El Dorado (1922-1930) or Howard, Kansas (1930-1944). Arthur Hall and his wife, Norma Bassett Hall, also a printmaker, left Kansas in 1944 to run a summer art school in Alcalde, New Mexico.
