He lived most of his life in Belgium and France. As a young man, he went to Paris and joined a circle of artists including Renoir and Guillaumin, and began to paint in the manner of the Impressionists. He appears to have established a studio in Brussels as early as 1900, and his work quickly gained appreciation among Belgian art connoisseurs. Painting with a vivid palette and a free, vigorous style, his portraits, nudes, landscapes, and still lifes were eagerly collected. Dividing his time between his Parisian and Brussels studios, he exhibited his works in both countries but achieved greater success in Paris. In 1913, a work entitled "Femme Assoupie" was accepted into the Salon d'Automne. Harry Bloomfield worked in an Impressionist style influenced by Cézanne. His work is characterized by robust compositions, bright areas of color, and a free touch.
