Alfred Daniels was born in London's East End in 1924. In the late 1940s he studied at the Royal College of Art, London; as a young graduate, he toured Florence, Venice, Ravenna and Siena, where he was deeply impressed by the Italian Primitives. His award-winning murals (1952-4) at Hammersmith Town Hall, depicting life on the Thames, are regarded as a modern classic. An example of his early painting - rightly compared to the work of the great American artist, Ben Shahn - was included in a recent survey of 1950s British paintings at London's Barbican Centre. His exhibitions at RONA Gallery have included Visions of Oxford and Spirit of Scotland. In 2003 he exhibited at RONA Gallery a new series of paintings of rowing and sailing activities on the Thames.
