Fluoresces evenly under a UV light. Please note this lot is beng sold unframed. Comment(s): Lowry lived at 117 Station Road, Pendlebury; a number of documentary films from the late 1950s (one from the BBC) show him using the railroad station, which was about a mile from his home. Like our example, Lowry’s landscapes are generally bleak, somber, and bereft of people, unlike his light and airy street scenes populated with his trademark figures. For compositions that illustrate this point please see his “Moston Cottage” (1950), “Pendlebury Bridge” (1919), and “Askews Farm, Pendlebury” (1960). He was born in Stretford, Lancashire, and many of his drawings and paintings depict Pendlebury, where he lived and worked for over 40 years, as well as Salford and its surrounding areas. On 26 June 2013 a major retrospective opened at the Tate Britain in London, his first at the Tate. Image copyright © The Estate of Laurence Stephen Lowry/DACS. [29921-15-1600]
