L.S. Lowry

Laurence Stephen ('L.S.') Lowry (1887-1976), Painter.

Lowry did not identify his portraits, giving them general titles such as here, The Man with Red Eyes. Later he inscribed the back of the canvas: 'The Artist aged 51'. Painted in 1938, the year that his mother was dying, the evident grief and anger are a rare expression of emotion in the artist's work....
