L.S. Lowry is probably Britain's most popular artist. This book takes a fresh look at his work, and with over 200 colour reproductions, it will be an essential book for students and admirers of his work.

This book includes a complete catalogue of works by Lowry in British galleries and museums, as well as a transcript of a series of revealing interviews with the artist, so providing an excellent introduction to his life and work.

The selection of paintings in the book include not only many examples of the industrial landscapes for which the artist is chiefly acclaimed, but also the rarer portraits, seascapes, still lifes and pastoral studies.
