About the author

Clive Lloyd (1920-2004) served in the Royal Navy throughout the Second World war. In the 1950s he started to collect marine paintings. He later opened a gallery for the sale of fine art and became a recognized expert on his subjects. He found and bought his first piece of prisoner of war work in a market in London; this chance discovery became the first step on a lengthy journey to learn and acquire more examples, resulting in what was to become a famous collection.
