Product Description
Product Description
L.S. Lowry's "matchstick men" have become one of the most readily recognised images in 20th-century British art. His vivid and faithful portrayal of the industrial north has led to his adoption as "the people's artist", though art historians and critics have sought for years to analyse his significance and appeal. Over 10,000 works by Lowry are known, ranging from finished oil paintings to hastily drawn sketches. The industrial scene was his most frequent subject but he also painted seascapes and portraits. He was a great humorist and had intense insight into human nature, characterising it without sentiment. His death in 1976 was marked by unprecedented homage by the ordinary people. This study of Lowry's life and work provides a full account of his career. Also included are excerpts from a rare interview given to Edwin Mullins and a discussion by Marina Vaizey of his place in art history.

This review is from: L.S.Lowry (Paperback)
This book has for years been the only book. It has an acurate biography of LS Lowry and a good selection of colour plates and B/W pictures of state owned Lowry's works. It is an essential resource for any one wanting to research LowryHowever.. there are recent books that let you deeper into his personality and others that have better pictures. If you want a good biography get Shelley Rhodes.It is a better read. I have all the books but this is my reference book

This review is from: L.S.Lowry (Paperback)
As a long time admirer of L S Lowry I found this work extremely interesting the reproduction of his work is excellent and almost as good as a trip round the Lowry gallery I am still in the process of reading the text, good things need to be savoured .He was such a good recorder of Social history not sentimental and lots of humour in there.Anyone who has not yet visited the Salford Gallery has missed a treat.A book I will open many many tims.Liz.
