Lowry: Oils and Watercolours presents a comprehensive and authoritative survey of one of the twentieth century's most distinctive and beloved painters. Mervyn Levy, a close friend and longtime champion of Lowry's work, chronicles the full arc of the artist's career, illuminating the industrial landscapes, matchstick figures, and brooding urban scenes that made Lowry an iconic voice of working-class Northern England. Written with warmth and scholarly precision, the text argues persuasively for Lowry's place as a serious and deeply original artist, countering the dismissive attitudes that dogged him during much of his lifetime. Levy details the technical evolution across both oils and watercolours, offering readers an intimate understanding of the painter's methods, obsessions, and singular vision. This richly informed study remains an essential reference for collectors, art historians, and anyone captivated by the haunting beauty of Lowry's world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792154505435,"sku":"2026200004586-SECONDHAND","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/eb36ace2-3dda-4551-858e-fef3e077d3fe.png?v=1779272765","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200004586-secondhand-the-paintings-of-l-s-lowry-oils-and-watercolours","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
