Lindsay Edward

[1] His semi-abstract work was exhibited widely in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth[4] and described by Professor Bernard Smith as "a perceptive art with its own quiet distinction".

[4] One of his murals made of glass mosaic tiles can be seen on the old State Library of Queensland building at 159 William St, Brisbane.

This was the winning entry in an Australia-wide competition for a mural to adorn the walls of the Brisbane Public Library in time for the 100-year celebration of responsible government in Queensland in 1959.

On winning the competition in 1958, Edward explained that his mosaic design was "not a literal subject, but one suggesting basic primitive organic forms, ageless, belonging to no particular age, indicative of growth and development'.

[5][6] Photographs of the winning mural were exhibited in Melbourne at Gallery A in September 1960, and were thought to "reveal a quality in design related in strength to figure compositions on Greek pottery".
