Lowry's leading position amongst 20th century British artists has now been well established, not least by the
opening of the Lowry museum.
In 1964 when he was less known, the leading critic Sir Herbert Read wrote the following tribute at the time
of an exhibition at Eccles:
'L.S.Lowry is a unique artist for a number of reasons. Other painters of our time are independent, belonging to
no school or movement, but they are usually traditionalists of some kind. Lowry is original,
and even revolutionary, in his vision. No one else to my knowledge has been so sensitively aware of the
poetry of the English industrial landscape. Usually condemned as ugly - and it is ugly if we look at it from
a conventional point of view - it can nevertheless be transformed if seen objectively, as a subtle harmony of
lines, against which the industrial marionettes move in a danse macabre.'
Our aim is to offer our clients an excellent service at unbeatable prices.
There are approximately 54 signed prints and 17 lithographs;
Approximately 26 unsigned, limited edition prints;
and many open edition, poster prints of decorative value only.
The signed prints have an embossed stamp, by the Fine art trade guild, or that of the publisher;
Some titles are simply signed and numbered,
and several titles eg. 'Mill scene' print, 'Level crossing' print and 'Market scene' print are simply signed in pencil by Lowry,
but not stamped or numbered, although they are limited edition prints (editions of 750).
