L S Lowry: A Life

L.S. Lowry’s creative work is much better known than the man himself. This informative and engaging talk by Ian McArdle attempts to redress the balance by examining his life and the relationships he established with others through a number of contrasts and, sometimes, apparent contradictions in the artist himself.

I adore Lowry’s art.

I think with some artists, lack of recognition in their lifetime is life's way of protecting them from the fickle circus of fame and celebrity. It can often spoil a sensitive soul. Some people are better off left to just get on with it, bless them ! Lowry was a case in point. I think he understood that, too.

I'm puzzled - where does it say Pendelbury? If you can point it out I can (possibly!) correct it.
