Lloyd Albright
“A painter, architect and wood carver, Lloyd Albright lived in Dalhart, Texas and was born in Cleburne, Texas.” (1)
“Lloyd Albright was an apparently self taught artist finding creative work as a painter, printmaker, and wood carver as well as designing and building adobe structures. All these endeavors were in addition to his regular employment working for the Rock Island Railroad and the time he spent in the army during WWI.” (2)
“He…did spend time at the Chicago Academy of Arts in 1922, and with Taos artists William Herbert ‘Buck’ Dunton (1930) and Emil Bisttram (1931).” (3)
“His art studio in Dalhart was a two story adobe of his own design and included many hand carved elements.
He painted mostly in the Texas Panhandle, but spent a considerable number of summers in Taos, NM where his painting companions and mentors were Joseph Sharp, who founded the Taos Society of Artists in 1883, and Ernest M. Hennings, seen by the Taos Society as one of its most talented members. Both these artists had a great influence on Albright.” (2)
“He died in Minnesota, where he had gone for medical treatment.” (1)
