From 1876 onwards, he exhibited at all the Salons of his day.
He won bronze, silver and gold medals for several years in a row (81-82-83-89-90).
Alexandre Nozal has a real passion for landscape, like his contemporaries Harpignies and Corot with whom he painted.
For this, he travels all over France by bicycle, setting up his easel here and there, painting in the open air.
His palette and his touch change according to his career and the places where he is.
Critics classify him as a Barbizon painter, as a post-impressionist painter or as a fauve painter!
From Brittany, to the Jura to the Ardèche, passing through Switzerland and Algeria, there are many regions that attract and inspire him.
He mainly paints on paper in travel journals, using gouache, watercolor or pastel.
His landscapes of lakes and seascapes often have the same construction.
