Person TypeIndividual
Biographywas a Victorville, California, sculptor and painter of western subjects in bronze and oil. From ranching to rodeo riding for twenty-three seasons, Bascom moved on to create bronze images of life on the range. Having chased wild horses along the Wyoming border and in the badlands of Utah, Canada, and Montana, he was an artist who remembered cattle drives and branding, saddle making and boot patching--and, quite naturally, the horse plays a major part in his art. Bascom had an exhibition of his work in Utah at the 1986 Springville Museum April Salon. He was born in Vernal, Utah; graduated from Brigham Young University; took classes from B.F. Larsen (q.v.) and Torleif Knaphus (q.v.). (b. July 6; d. August 28)
