- Van Norden was a son of artist Willem van Norden and Bets Hakkert. The family lived in Gouda from 1923, where father was given artistic direction of the Goedewaagen factory. In 1934 Hans van Gouda moved to Amsterdam. He was trained there at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten as a student of Johannes Hendricus Jurres and Heinrich Campendonk, among others. He made paintings, mosaics and murals and also worked with ceramics, glass and textiles. He made notes and sketches on the way, he did the painting in his studio. In addition to being an artist, he was a teacher at the Academy for the training of drawing teachers in Tilburg.
Van Norden was active in several areas. In 1945, he founded the Scapino Ballet with Hans Snoek and Nicolaas Wijnberg. For over twenty years, he designed sets and costumes for the Scapino Ballet, the Rotterdams Toneel and De Nederlandsche Opera, among others. With Wijnberg and Theo Kurpershoek, he was at the cradle of the painters' group De Realisten (1948), which opposed abstraction and wanted to develop expressive figurative art. Artists such as Kees Andrea and Lex Horn joined the group. In 1952, Horn became the first chairman and Van Norden secretary of the Vereniging van Beoefenaars der Monumentale Kunsten. Together with Wijnberg, Van Norden was responsible for the design of the literary magazine Tirade, which was launched in 1957. Van Norden was also involved in Kabinet Floret (1959-1966), an art gallery on the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal in Amsterdam, where Harry op de Laak, Van Norden and Wijnberg had the artistic direction.
Van Norden died in 2011, at the age of 95.
