Biographical / Historical
Norman D. Daly (August 9, 1911 - April 2, 2008), was an American artist who created the fictional ancient Civilization of Llhuros along with hundreds of its artifacts. His work on The Civilization of Llhuros starting in the mid 1960s makes him the pioneering practitioner of an art genre now known as fictive archaeology. In 1942, Daly joined the Department of Art at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where he taught drawing, painting, materials and methods, and elements of design. He became Professor of Art in 1958 and retired in 1976, but continued to teach as an emeritus professor until 1999.
