Description
LS Lowry has long been one of Britain's most popular artists. He is best
known for his industrial landscapes and crowd scenes but they were only
one facet of his broader vision, which included evocative seascapes,
rural landscapes and imagined portraits. For a much-imitated artist so
apparently familiar to us, Lowry's life and career remain full of
surprises. As the world's largest collection of paintings and drawings
by the artist, as well as photographs, press cuttings and exhibition
catalogues related to his work, The Lowry Collection provides the
broadest context in which to look at his life, work and career afresh.
Here, curator Claire Stewart tells the artist's story through a
selection of highlights from the Collection, which is housed in the
landmark multi-disciplinary arts centre that bears his name.
