Lowry and the Painting of Modern Life

Lowry's distant little figures and brutal cityscapes are unique in their portrayal of the mid-twentieth century British working class. This exhibition highlights the French influence at the root of his depictions of industrial Britain putting his work in the context of Impressionists such as Camille Pisarro and his teacher, the symbolist Adolphe Valette whilst also drawing attention to his singular position as a painter of British life.
