RE LOWRY

He was called the British Brueghel, which is taking it a little far, but he is closer to such a thing than others.


Lowry was drawn to people on the fringe of society; down and out people; those whom the economic system in places like Manchester, where he lived most of his life, were often seen


In his early work, he did a lot of life drawings. I want to suggest some resemblances between several people, people with particular facial and anatomical features, in his life drawings, and some people seen in his later paintings.
