16 Nov 11 - 5 Feb 12: Lowry Exhibition

Wednesday 16th November 2011 - Sunday 5th February  2012


L S Lowry occupies a unique position in 20th-century British art; by the end of his life, his instantly recognisable street
scenes and industrial landscapes had achieved an unrivalled popularity in the public imagination.

This exhibition focuses on Lowry’s work from the beginning of the 20s to the immediate post-war period, from his early forays into the industrial scene to the point at which he began to achieve a degree of commercial success and his interests shifted into the territory of figure painting.

In the 1930s, personal crisis brought about by the death of his parents, and the artist’s growing sense of isolation, produced a kind of artistic derailment resulting in an extraordinary body of work whose subject matter chimes with the national zeitgeist of pre-war angst: his views of empty industrial wastelands, derelict buildings and a disturbing series of staring portrait heads will all come as a revelation to those who only know Lowry as the poet of the Lancashire mills.

Where:  Djanogly Art Gallery
Cost:      FREE

Djanogly Gallery open:

Monday - Saturday: 11am - 5pm
Sundays & Bank Holidays: 12noon - 4pm
