Lowry and the Painting of Modern Life

Published on the occasion of the exhibition “Lowry and the Painting of Modern Life”, Tate Britain, 25 June — 20 October 2013. Much-loved British painter L. S. Lowry (1887–1976) made the industrial city the focus of his career. This book, published to accompany a retrospective at Tate Britain, shows how Lowry depicted the public rituals of working-class urban life: football matches and protest marches; evictions and fistfights; workers going to and from the mill. He was also a landscape painter, and he sought to show the effects of the industrial revolution. Written by groundbreaking art historians T.J. Clark and Anne M. Wagner, this is a fresh approach to the study of this popular painter.
