Norman Daly Art

The central motif of all of Norman Daly’s work was the mythic figure, usually human, sometimes animal, and always transmuted by a wide range of abstracting techniques so as to honor formal values. In addition, his work was deeply inflected by homage to the Native American and Spanish-American visual cultures of the Southwest.  Finally, in the "Civilization of Llhuros," Norman Daly’s unique imagination succeeded in uniting an ever-delightful particularity of visual content with a universality of thematic concerns to produce an unprecedented experience of pleasure, mystery, and thought provocation.
