Norman Lloyd's style
in painting changed significantly during his long career of over 40
years - from his early traditional works influenced by Julian Ashton
(whose school he attended after returning from World War I), to his
works referencing French impressionism in the mid to late 1920s and
then showing the flair of the fluid British modernist school from the
1930s on.
"The
Sydney Morning Herald's critic commented on his change in style: 'The
oil paintings which the young Australian artist exhibited at the
Macquarie Galleries about three years ago were very conventional. They
revealed no imagination, and were merely attractive colour arrangements
transcribed from nature. The exhibition he is opening today stands on a
different plane altogether. It is the work of a man who has studied the
methods of the various schools, not superficially, but earnestly and
practically so as to assimilate these methods into his own style.'"

In
this section you'll find themes Lloyd revisited many times: the
bountiful French countryside with its farmhouses and villages and the
impressions of North African towns and landscapes.
