- The Lowry
- L.S. Lowry spent almost his entire working life as a rent collector. Born in 1887 and raised in the leafy outskirts of Manchester, Laurence Stephen Lowry was an only child.
- Lowry trained under an Impressionist master. Given his day job and the seemingly naive style of his paintings, it was long assumed that Lowry was self-taught.
- A missed train changed his career. Today, Lowry is best remembered for his busy scenes of England’s industrial north, complete with looming mills, imposing factories, smoking chimneys and massed ranks of workers. ‘
- Lowry was an underrated portraitist. Lowry’s cityscapes are populated by stylised figures often referred to as ‘matchstick men’, but in the mid-to-late 1930s he took to painting people in a very different way, producing a series of haunting portraits.
A collection of his work is on display in The Lowry, a purpose-built art gallery on Salford Quays. On 26 June 2013, a major retrospective opened at the Tate Britain in London, his first at the gallery; in 2014 his first solo exhibition outside the UK was held in Nanjing, China.
In 1939 Lowry had his first solo exhibition in London at the Lefevre gallery. The exhibition was successful, and many of the works sold, but in October that year, Elizabeth Lowry died. Lowry described his life as altering ‘utterly and completely’ after her death.

Lowry's first solo exhibition took place in 1939 at the Reid & Lefevre Gallery in London, which helped to establish his reputation outside his native North-West for the first time. His reputation now began to rise, particularly after a TV documentary was made on him in 1957.
