Artist: L.S Lowry
Nationality: English
Born: Stretford, Manchester, 1887
Died: Manchester 1976
Bio: Lawrence Stephen Lowry or "Laurie was a very private person. Lowry never drank nor smoked but said that he derived all the pleasure he needed from his work.
The death of his mother before he came to taste success was a devastating blow to him. He frequently used phrase of Laurie's was "that it all came too late" referring to the fact that his mother didn't get to see how successful he had become.
Today Lowry is known the world over as the man who used to paint "matchstick men and matchstick cats and dogs" and for scenes depicting working class northern England.
However, Lowry painted other things besides Industrial Landscapes such as houses, buildings, portraits and seascapes.
Lowry died at the age of 88. |
